I am 27 F diagnosed last year with ADHD. I am very likely also autistic but I did not decide if I want to go down that path yet lol.
Some days I struggle with guilt (and imposer syndrome) because medication works quite good with me.
In general, I must say, even before diagnosis I did not struggle (on the surface) with doing things. I had found ways to push myself to fo stuff driven by the anxiety of failure.
When I hear a lot of ADHD people saying how they struggle with keeping jobs, not being late, completing tasks, even on medication, I feel guilty and I feel like I am faking ADHD and taking advantage of the medication and the support.
However, I also feel like my problem, since my mid 20s is not making up with society expectations, but how this constant masking is actually constantly burning me. I do not even know anymore what things are good or bad for me because I constantly feel drained but I cannot say what is causing me the stress.
I would like to know if some of you feels the same way and doubt their ADHD diagnosis because they actually good "at life".
