I was diagnosed with ADHD about 2-years ago at age 34 and it has taken me a VERY long time to accept this a thing. It just feels so unreal...like are you SUUUURE?

But yeah they are sure...

Anyways, I've been coming to terms with it and I am taking medication, but in the last year I feel like I've lost my ability to write creatively, and I'm so ashamed and angry. I was always the kid who was writing stories instead of paying attention in school. I could bust out a paper for college in a night. At work writing emails, proposals, emails, feedback I had it down.

I'm at the point of spending hours staring at a blank page completely at a loss. I've fallen behind at work, I avoid communicating in writing whenever possible, and I end up using Chat GPT to do 90% of my writing.

I feel so AWFUL I've spent the last few nights just crying because what's wrong with me?!

Has anyone experienced this? Do you have any tips for working through it?
