    Ive never been diagnosed, but the more I read, the more im convinved ive been functioning adhd my whole life.

    Today i learned about nicotine. The only time id smoke while sober was the last 2 weeks of the quarter when i was cramming for finals/doing labs etc. After my last deadline, i wouldnt do it for 10 more weeks, but would hit it hard during finals again. Always kept me focused and motivated

      If you want any help on getting diagnosed we can do it public or private. Either respond here or PM me. I got diagnosed this year at age 41.

        What kind of help are you offering? I’m 42 and recent events have pushed me to seek the official diagnosis, but my last attempt was a blatant waste of time. The psychiatrist wasn’t even interested in the possibility.

          My first attempt was an infuriating waste of time and money too. I can offer some coaching and the name of the service I used. I just didn’t want to seem like I was advertising.
