Just now realizing I may be ADHD at 35?!
How have I not put these pieces together yet at this point in my life?!!!!!!
I got a recent head cold which required taking Sudafed and I haven’t taken it since I was a kid. It put me to sleep and had me yawning all day. I had to drink extra coffee. When I saw my diagnosed ADHD husband have the same reaction, it clicked and now I’m full-on freaking out. I mean…it explains ALOT, but wow…how have I missed this important piece of information about myself?!
I jump between hyper-focus to struggling to check off anything on my to-do list. I will use one planner/journal to organize my life and abandon it shortly after. I have a whole shelf of unused or barely used planners. I’ve always considered myself very type-A and perfectionist and spend a massive amount of time trying to develop organizational tactics for my life but am now realizing that could be ADHD all along?! !!!!
