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.

All the memes and TikTok videos really started to make me realize not everyone does this. Then a friend I did Adderall with recreationally in high school reached out to me and was like “hey remember when we did Adderall and we’re like dude this is so boring I don’t feel high at all then we just did all the stuff we had been putting off? Yeah, I just got diagnosed, you probably should too.” That drove it home for me lol.
