Hey, So recently I admitted to a friend - who finally got some conclusions on why heās been struggling with adapting to adulthood and being on his own - that Iām tired of not understanding why Iām struggling so hard at this adult thing. The other day, while watching a TikTok explaining why they feel like the name for ADHD should change to put a bit more emphasis on the attention hyperactivity part of ADHD and it got me to thinkingā¦ holy shit I may have ADHD. I mentioned this to another friend and their response was āItās pretty obvious you have ADHD, have you ever tried to follow any of our conversations?ā And Iām like āWhat do you mean itās obvious???ā So yesterday I spoke to my mom and sheās like āWell as a kid you functioned well with it so we didnāt see the point of seeking helpā ā¦ like guys Iām 30ā¦ and my mom just told me I have ADHDā¦ I mentioned it to all of my friends and they all said āI figured you knew and were just coping really well so I never brought it upā ā¦ I have been floundering since graduating high school. Struggling, considering myself a failure, attempted 3x, only to find out at 30 years old I just needed some help. Hell, some confirmation that Iām not a failureā¦ I donāt even know where Iām going with this but now I question all of my interactions, everything I thought excited me and now Iām slowly becoming even more confused about who I amā¦ and how did everyone around me know but me???
