I fucking wish I was 30

It never changes either. I'm past 40 and I'm still like "I'll get my life together next year. Or the one after that, surely!"

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I didn't get diagnosed until my 50's. Now starting to get a grip on things.

Try 45 and but yes I agree.

It is just so tiring sometimes

I stopped caring about “getting my life together”. All it means to me is being a nice little cog in the soul crushing machine. I take care of the absolute minimum on a day by day basis and use what’s leftover to have fun and do what I want to. I figure by the time it catches up to me, the world will have really gone to shit. If somehow the state of things actually improve, either it’ll be a world that treats people with adhd better or I’ll go out on my own terms.

If only psychiatrists didn't do literally everything in their power to make getting an appointment as hard as possible for people who have ADHD. Same goes for social anxiety.

I'm exactly like that, and I find it so strange. Usually, the brain adepts to a new situation, and that isn't exactly new.

I plan everything as if I did not have ADD, and have done so even before I was diagnosed and had meds.

46*

Is there any way to manage symptoms without medication? Both of my brothers have ADHD and my therapist suspects that I do, too. However, I have a history of abusing adderall and being addicted to it. I don't want to ever take a prescription stimulant again and no doctor would prescribe me one anyway because of my history.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

"...you're ~~30~~ 50"

Doesn't really get much better at 50 either

Getting my shit together < the sweet embrace of the status quo

This time for real though

Joke's on you, I'm like that at 47.

Ironically, I started actually building stuff when I hit 30.

25 for me and had just been fired for the second time. I was lucky enough to find coping mechanisms and a support structure that worked for me with people who had my best interests in mind otherwise I'd probably still be struggling.

That was over 20 years ago and now when I tell people I'm ADHD they don't believe me. Makes me feel good!

You shut the fuck up. I do not appreciate being attacked like this

30 is as great a time to start as any

If I get diagnosed/medicated will things get better :c

I brought it up to my doctor and got a referral to get a diagnosis, finally. That was 4 years ago. I need to ask again for another referral but keep forgetting/not being able to, while im there. If I can bring myself to do it, I might just ask my doctor to help me make the appointment while im there. :P

Just wait a little longer and you'll eventually won't believe you'll ever do any of that ever. problem solved

I have a diagnosis but meds didn't work, possibly because i live a pretty much sheltered life and was never forced into work, i did some jobs but i never lasted more than a year. The last 3 years i spent smoking weed and postponing my waking up. Now i'm trying psychotherapy again and i've been prescribed efexor.

But i feel more hopeless and spent than ever. I can't feel interest nor curiosity about anything. Social interactions are pain, and what's worse is that even with my closest friends it is now like that. I just feel like I'm not interested or capable of conversing with them, cause I feel no interest in any thing anymore....

Even now that I'm medicated I still do this everyday. Things are better, but medication has its limits.

Ouch 😵‍💫

Wrong! I was only 27 when I got diagnosed 💪💪
