I Have Adhd

I have a few other disorders too and I was diagnosed back when I was like 15. Anyway, skip ahead to now. I'm not very functional and have been trying to figure out why. I've been working with doctors to figure out what my problem is and it looks like ADHD is behind most of my problems. I couldn't believe it. I got diagnosed so long ago and have always accepted that I am the way I am that I just kind of set that diagnosis on the side and well...forgot about it. I forgot I have ADHD.

@english Now I can do things differently that have been shown to work better for people with ADHD. I have to do what works for me instead of always trying to do things the way most people are traditionally taught. Like most people accept that to get something done you have to sit down, focus, and stick with it until it's done. Another approach that works though is to take frequent breaks but do keep going back to it. Another one is like if there is a speaker and I have to pay attention I quietly doodle and because my attention is sparked by drawing I'm also paying attention to other things as well. Does this make sense?
