I wasn’t able to get it checked out earlier in my adult life due to being a independent contractor for so long (american healthcare… yay). Now though, I’ve got the time and the insurance to cover everything. It’s actually a relief to know that it’s not just me being incompetent.

Now I wait for a prescription and hope that sets me on the right path.

    Congrats! My partner is currently waiting to get tested for ADHD after realising at the age of 34 that maybe she has it and it’s not just other problems or incompetence.

      I’m waiting for an appointment with my psychiatrist to talk about what would work. Hopefully in 2 weeks I’ll start and I can begin the process of dialing in a dosage.

    My husband only found out he has ADHD at 46. Suddenly a lot of stuff is starting to make more sense to him about why he has struggled with certain things throughout his life. The meds have been helping too. Hope you get the help you need!

    I was diagnosed at 34. It was pretty much an entire year of a mixture of relief and disappointment that it took so long to get the care I needed to help me manage the symptoms. Glad you have your answer, finally! Now have fun getting yourself educated AF about it. You got this!
