    Get a diagnoses so you can understand who you actually are with the right tools.

    My mum got me diagnosed as a kid but my dad said ADHD wasnt real, stopped me taking meds and thought beating a child is how they “snap out of it”. I grew up thinking that so i also thought ADHD was a scam. Took me too long to realise my mistake of trying to shove a triangle into a square wondering why everything felt wrong.

    Getting diagnosed and taking Vyvanse was such an important turning point in my life. The first day was like opening both eyes instead of squinting. Not being distracted so i could focus properly on clients - i felt like superman! I had concrete information and not people just telling me things or me yet again getting the wrong idea.

    I would 100% get a diagnoses. You might not even have it and have something else. You never know until you know.

    EDIT: also depends on your drive. My brother also has it and never bothered taking meds. He never wanted to climb a ladder so he’s been a waiter all his life. I wanted to climb the ladder in corporate. I suffered so much until meds, he didnt.
