My friend has a diagnosis of ADHD and hasn't seen a medical professional for it, for the first time. Normally she's on medication but stopped it as she switches insurance with her new employer.

Throughout our friendship over the last several years, I've noticed she has had this habit of cutting people off, often with a slightly condescending tone, but a high level of excitement.

She has been really impulsive with this to where it's starting to really get to me. It gets frustrating trying to talk about plans either fun or for help, sharing a story about ourselves, and a lot of times I could be asking a genuine question, and she assumes I'm talking about something else without letting me finish, thus her response is irrelevant to the topic at hand. Sometimes even condescending.

I'm just trying to figure out a good way to talk about this. I have a chronic mental illness, too, and I just want to be as patient as I can. This is all really invalidating.
