    The thing that makes people with ADHD think they don’t have ADHD is the “hyperactive” part. Not everyone with adhd is actually hyperactive, but if you find be yourself unable to muster the motivation to do things you know you’re supposed to do, but the ability to hyper focus on things you want to do, that’s incredibly characteristic of ADHD.

      Me not emailing my negative UDS and EKG results to my psych until the day of my diagnosis.

      Instead for that week I was procrastinating, trying to unspaghetti my NixOS installation, installing a PS2 emulator to play a title that dankpods reminded me of.

      I’d been beating myself up over this shit for years, people in my life too just thinking I’m lazy and disorganised. Only took me until 36 to get a diagnosis 🤘 Happy I did.
