If one day you found out you had ADHD, how would you feel about that?

Astonished, as noone would ever describe me as hyper, or easily distracted.

True, they'd never try to offend you

@Alex1610: you've been handed this diagnosis?

@firefall: I discovered it by myself along with a big help from a friend of mine

@Alex1610: Ah OK. That's pretty tough. I hope you'll look for medical assistance with it? (we had a woman in her 30s living with us for a year with ADHD & got to see how hard it hit her, and how huge a difference it made when she stayed on medications - I think hers was quite a severe version, because it seemed to be utterly disorienting & disabling when unmedicated).

@firefall: I'm trying not to get medication involved, coz I heard it goes with some side effects. Also, I'm afraid I might not be able to switch to other treatments if I stayed on medications

@Alex1610: Fair enough, so long as some treatment works for you :) IDK how common the side-effects are, Lisa seemed to not have any, but who can say :/

If theres anything I can do, any help or encouragement, don't hesitate to call on me
