Unless your parents did it for you, idk how ppl who think they have adhd even get diagnosed, I needed to get my insurance changed for the county I was living in at the time or some shit, I never went to get checked again. Had been academically disqualified at that point, somehow did 2 years at community college, got reinstated to the school, and graduated with my bachelors, took me an extra 2 years and I had straight Cs but at least I did it. Now idk if I’ll ever get diagnosed, probably should, I abuse weed and nicotine to “self medicate” helps me focus on one thing at a time.
I think that is fair. I also think that for ADHD, it’s different than something like OCD, because OCD can have way more traumatic effects, which get trivialised by people like in the comic. Adhd has this less in my opinion.
I really need to get diagnosed, have had intrusive thoughts since I was a kid and issues with hyperfocusing on bugs, honestly don’t know what I have prob mild adhd/ocd. Just googling the venn diagram, I’m like yep that’s me. The OCD side is incosistent tho. I seek less reassurance and have gotten less obsessive over time, I hope.
