I am not diagnosed but I’m pretty sure I have ADHD.

I literally CANNOT keep up with the demands of regular life. I have always had anxiety and grew up to develop some CPTSD. I also have a substance abuse disorder and an eating disorder. I just feel like I can’t ever get my shit together. Doing my laundry, paying bills, staying on top of my budget, etc feels SO overwhelming. I’m also a teacher and I feel like I struggle to keep on top of my job/emails/paperwork. Because I can’t keep up and my overall struggles with mental health, self-worth is super low.

The only thing that strays me away from thinking I have ADHD is that I never struggled in school. I was always an excellent student and ADHD symptoms (hyperactivity, inattention, difficultly sitting still, waiting my turn) were not present as each child as far as I know.

Not necessarily looking for a diagnosis here on Reddit, but I’m curious if others have a similar experience and were diagnosed with ADHD despite not having childhood symptoms.

This is exactly how I‘ve always felt, long before diagnosis. Especially when it comes to performing womanhood.
