I don’t have ADHD. The results are in and the results are “ Nope!”.
More precisely, the results are that I have a lot of of the symptoms of ADHD in adults, way more than necessary, but I also had basically zero symptoms of ADHD as a kid. (and since it’s a DD…)

Which means it’s a dead end, help won’t be coming from there. Back to square two.

thaaat sounds like bullshit.  i wasn’t diagnosed until i was 16, after being told my whole childhood that I didn’t have ADHD (and I didn’t present a lot of the common symptoms, and the ones i did present were not always easy to spot).  I’m wondering if you really didn’t have symptoms as a child, or if it’s just that your coping mechanisms didn’t fail until now and so nobody noticed.  I mean, that’s obviously me projecting pretty hard, but it makes me wonder…  and seriously, if you have a lot of the symptoms now, what’s to say that treating them as ADHD wouldn’t help?  That just sounds weird to me.
