Hello!

I was diagnosed a couple months ago now and more time passes by, the more my symptoms worsen.

For context, I never really thought I could have adhd, since I wouldn’t see someone as hyperactive and to me, that’s what adhd was about. Also, I was diagnosed with autism at the same time.

I know that, learning more about adhd/autism makes you more aware of what your issues are, but it feels different for me.

I was always a very organized person, and I’m now struggling so much to stay organized. Apparently, my anxiety made me try to never make mistakes ever and therefore keep organized, but now somehow, my adhd takes more space than anxiety. I’ll admit I’ve been less anxious lately.

I forget to reply to texts and emails, I make careless mistakes, I forget to do x or y thing, I also can see how much of a struggle it is for me to switch tasks.

It feels like getting the diagnosis made me give up on paying attention, and/or lifted a weight off my shoulders.

But now I somewhat feel like I’m “faking it”.

Has it happened to anyone before?
