Me: I need to leave this community. What if these memes are just making me think I have ADHD when I don’t.

Also me on literally every meme that’s posted here: haha, hard rel8

All these ADHD memes have several times made me think if there's a light version?

But from what I understand everyone can experience ADHD "symptoms" from time to time, but people who are diagnosed with it have symptoms that are several orders of magnitude more intense.

I’m gonna sound like a broken record here but my favorite thing is:

Everyone pees but when you pee 60 times a day you go see a doctor

Not diagnosed till late 20s.

I’m “twice gifted”, so my intelligence can help me mask my ADHD in some ways. Looking back, all… ALL the signs were there, but no one was looking, or just didn’t understand. Lots of “you just need to apply yourself” kind of shit.

Anyway, check out Russell Barkley, if you’ve got a thing for educational videos, his are interesting enough, I feel, since he’s talking about me.

He made me feel a lot more confident that I have it, despite 3 different psychs already agreeing I do… and made me feel a lot more comfortable with who I am.
