I’ve read a lot (a LOT) of posts here and elsewhere that made me suspect I have ADHD. I made an appointment to get evaluated. Just curious about other people’s experiences.

Well I’d kind of known since forever in a “ha ha, but everyone feels like that though, right?” way. Then some ADHD memes randomly came up on Youtube, and I realized that it was me, exactly. The same thing happened with egg_irl a while earlier, and since doing something about that had made my life much better, I went to see a psychiatrist, who immediately agreed that I had ADHD and prescribed me some drugs.

It also didn’t help that I’m predominantly-inattentive type, which is apparently more common in women (surprise!)
