So I went to my doctor and was like “yeah my counselor said I should ask about the process to get tested for ADHD because of XYZ”…
He then had to gently explain that a year ago he had referred me to a local pysch for testing because I already took the ADHD assessment.
Anyway, long story short, after doing testing (which I showed up for on the wrong day the first time) I got an official ADHD diagnosis.

I wish I could sleep less and lose weight, instead I take naps with my afternoon pill
Me too! My husband teases me about it. I take it and get sleepy. Zzzz
With the pill is a life hack (hydration is critical), 30 minutes later it’s an impossibility for me
In the morning I agree but the afternoon I already feel more tired
