ADHD memes

I made a post on here a while ago saying how uncanny the posts were to describing me near perfectly. I struggled with this disorder for 30 years. Nerfing myself for 30 years. Not being the best husband to my wife for 6 years. Not the best father to my son for nearly 2 years. All without knowing it.

I have now been on 20mg XR Adderall for a little over 3 months - it has been absolutely life changing.

I'm more attentive. Things are much more easily committed to memory. Menial tasks no longer feel like a huge burden anymore. I can actually read a page in a book I'm interested in without completely forgetting what I've read by the end of the page. I've had a small, but annoying headache for years every single day - chalked it up to genetics as my mom has a disorder than can cause the same thing. The headaches are gone. I can only assume they were brought on by the stress.

Gang, if you're at all considering you might have some form of ADD/ADHD, please go see your doctor. I had a thousand reasons why I didn't want to/need to go beforehand, but I'm so very glad I finally did.

So I kept seeing the memes and identifying with them, until I started asking you questions, which lead to asking how to get diagnosed. And after a visit to the neuro and a questionnaire later, I've joined the club. TBH, it lifted a weight off my shoulders.

I will begin treatment as soon as the damned insurance clears the request for medicine. I'm hopeful about the future.
