This is unironically me. I just went through a lengthy diagnosis process that determined I do not in fact have ADHD, despite ticking an alarming number of boxes. I call myself ADHD-adjacent now.
Wow does that feel worse? I mean ADHD or no, you're still beholden to your neurology to some degree.
Even if isn't a common diagnosis for the kind of thing you are.
It felt pretty bad at first. I wanted to be able to help myself somehow, and I thought this was a great place to start. It was like starting back at square one. But practices and therapies that assist with ADHD also tend to help me out, so at least I got something out of it.
Hmmmm I dunno, if get a second opinion, if you're that closely aligned with ADHD. It could be that you just have a "lighter" case? Anyway, I'm not a doctor, but if you're still struggling and using coping mechanisms, then to me that says you would maybe benefit from other help too.
