I think I might have ADHD
So I know it's not good to self diagnose but I assure you I didn't make this assumption until after deep research and self tracking. You might say then "go to a psychiatrist and get a diagnose." The thing is I don't know how to tell my parents, for them I'm just a lazy messy person, they don't understand mental health or illnesses at all, and my country is very uneducated about mental health. I know a friend who has adhd and been misdiagnosed twice before actually getting the right diagnosis which is adhd. I talked to her and explained my pov of why I think I might have it, I explained the symptoms I'm manifestion... and she agrees she actually told me "i see a lots of my self in you". I also heard that adhd and anxity can have similar symptoms/consequences on a person and I admit this year I've been under a lots of pressure and stress and anxity but when I looked back at myself/my childhood and I realized I've been manifestion signs of adhd since I was a kid, except now I might have masked adhd due to the criticism I used to receive (I could talk about this in another post if you'd like).
So what do you think?
Ok, so what's important to understand here is people CAN and DO recover from mental health issues, it TENDS to be a temporary thing (some people then as this implies, so, sorry if it's patronising, have long term mental health issues that they don't recover from). ADHD however is part of a group of conditions known as neurodivergence/diversity, neurodivergent/diverse, which means there are cognitive developmental differences in the brain when it is developing that cause ADHD, autism, Tourette's Syndrome, dyslexia, dyscalculia or dyspraxia (or developmental coordination disorder as it is sometimes known if it is a just lack of motor, either gross and/fine motor control, as opposed to oral and/ verbal as well as motor issues). Of course, you can have several of these conditions. Eg I have an autism diagnosis and highly suspect dyscalculia, and maybe I also have developmental coordination disorder and ADHD. What I'm saying is neurological, neurodevelopmental disorders/conditions are ALWAYS life-long, but similarly to mental health issues they can be managed.
