    I’m really appreciate the thoughtful response, just want to say that I never said I’m afraid of medication. I just like to be open minded about various options without directly assuming medication is the best option for every person in every situation. I definitely would want a medical professional to hear my specific symptoms or scenario and give that recommendation if it’s best for me! I’ll take look into your other suggestions as well, thanks!

      I’m sorry I made that assumption. Its a good reminder for me not to do that. Keep us updated if you learn something!

        I really appreciate you! I’m sorry if I took offense to any of your response. I’m like 30 and just learned this year that I may have adhd and that my standard way of doing things may not be “normal”. Totally looking into seeing a professional and learning more about myself and whatever treatment may be necessary. It’s great having people around for support as well, it means a lot!

            Apparently I’m high functioning or something?? I’ve made it this far through life and would call myself relatively successful (good career, family, etc). I do have some problems with prioritizing work and focusing (hence why the meme is relevant). Literally just did a Twitch focus stream to try to stay on track and hold myself accountable to be focused 😅
