ADHD

Anyone who’s dealt with ADHD long enough: has it ever gotten easier?

I feel like since becoming aware of the symptoms the struggle has only worsened, despite always considering myself decently self-aware.

I don’t know if it’s just the compounding responsibilities of work, marriage, parenthood, and adulthood. Or if it’s some weird permanent brain fog from covid. Or a tangible side effect of being plugged into crypto almost 24/7 for three years. Or just a dwindling sense of agency and direction and control of emotions.

But it’s been six years now that I’ve seen three therapists, one psychiatrist with a brief round of antidepressants, and tried numerous tools and tricks yet it all feels like it’s falling apart.

Where did I go wrong?

Every time I see someone make fun of ADHD and suggest it's fake, or a conspiracy by Big Pharma to sell medication, I get mad all over again. This thing is very real and the people who suffer from it wouldn't wish on their worst enemies.

just saw someone say ADHD isn’t real... seriously?? it’s not just a phase or made-up. so many folks struggle with this daily, it’s not a joke.
