    I actually recently checked out elevenlabs, the free tier seemed so limited it didn’t seem like it would work, maybe I’ll have to check them out again and dig a little deeper. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Yeah I lucked out with him for sure. The guy he replaced was good, but still operated with an old school corporate mindset.

    I got lucky with my diagnosis, my doctor also had ADHD and even though I still had to do the testing to be sure he basically diagnosed me on our first visit. He was also able to teach me how to manage my impulses and channel the energy into projects I can get passionate about. If you are right on the edge I’d seek a second opinion, I’m not knocking the previous doctor but a different one might pick up on something that would put you over the threshold.

    If nothing else research coping strategies on your own. Check out this ADHD life, I connected with him years ago through comedy podcast we both listened to and he’s got some great resources.

      Believe it or not, that was my first impression as well. I really didn’t use it because it seemed like it would end up costing me money. But about a month ago, they sent out a survey asking why I wasn’t using it. I suspect we werent the only ones not giving it a shake. I didn’t do the survey, but it reminded me to give it a try. Throwing this book in there has been great and the free AI voices have a nice flow for the most part.

      Much more than the diagnosis, I’ve been more interested in the coping techniques. I don’t think my manifestation is so bad that I need medication, though I was sincerely curious if it would change things for the better. I might try for a second opinion. The practitioner even gave a reference for someone who died more comprehensive testing, but she doesn’t take insurance. So I’m waffling a bit.

      I’ll check out this ADHD life. I feel like it’s been mentioned in other communities, but honestly can’t remember.

      Cheers!
