Yup,I hear ya. It took till I was 34 to get a diagnosis of severe ADHD. It’s hard not to be angry when I think of all the ways it could have been so much easier and better for me, but it’s wasted energy to do that, honestly. Just gotta move forward, you know?

    It so is. For me it's especially hard when I think of how much I struggled in college and how that spiraled into a full on anxiety disorder that took me like 7 years to get back to a place I feel good about being mentally.

    Luckily my daughter has an established family history now and very well documented, very noticeable, and recognizable symptoms and shouldn't have any trouble getting diagnosed once she's actually old enough to officially diagnose. She's already got an IEP in place for her preschool program.
