    I feel the exact same way, I was diagnosed less than 6 months ago at 29. The more I find out about ADHD the more I realize I had billboard sized signs of it my whole life.

    Of course after getting diagnosed and talking with my parents they told me that my teachers had mentioned it the whole time I was growing up, but they don’t believe in it so I obviously don’t have it. Thanks parents, I would have loved to have that info and not feel like I was just a fuck up for 20+ years.

      My parents were super surprised that I got the diagnosis. I’m like…

      Getting diagnosed during the medication shortage has been interesting however. I’m about to ask my Dr if there are some alternatives that are more likely in stock at pharmacies. Adderral is MIA everywhere around me right now.

        I was prescribed atomoxetine and it works pretty great for me, I’ve got Inattentive ADHD though so YMMV.

        I also only have to go to my doctor once every 3 months to get refills for it, which is pretty cool

          Nice, I am going to look into that. I am definitely going to try to switch to something. I can’t be dealing with this adderral wack-a-mole every 30 days…
