I am not even diagnosed at the moment. And the whole process of getting diagnosed in my country is discouraging me. And somehow I fear that I would lose an portion of “me” if I would medicate now.

I grew up without a diagnose and some how habdlrd it and coped with it enough that it wasn’t directly a problem. Until last year when I get to know somebody who is diagnosed who said to me I probably have it and I am still learning what it realy means, but it helps knowing now the words to describe how I always fellt.

Sorry I got lost, so maybe someday but unsure.

How do you get prescribed this? Like what do you say as an undiagnosed adult

I can’t speak for OP, but for me, after finishing an undergrad degree, the side effects of Adderall made it less tolerable than just finding a job in a field I’m actually interested in. Now I just have to deal with all the other responsibilities that being an adult entails, which sucks without meds, but at least I can sleep normally 🤷
