    Find a new one. Find one that specializes in ADHD. You can absolutely be diagnosed as an adult, however the symptoms must have been present before the age of 12 or something, technically.

    I had a doctor ask me if I had found jesus when first trying to get help w my issues. For real. It can take some time to find the right fit, but hopefully you can seek out an ADHD/neurodivergent focused therapist for better results

    e: i was diagnosed by a psychologist/therapist. I have heard from several folks anecdotally that their psychiatrists are more detached and are mostly just there for prescriptions. YMMV


  • I posted elsewhere about this, but ADHD can mess with your emotions. I thought for a while that I was bipolar because of how quickly my moods could change and how strongly I felt things like anxiety or disappointment or frustration. Now that I know what it is, in the moment I’m able to pull myself out of depressive spirals caused by hyperfixation etc. I’m also able to better work with the peaks and troughs of my productivity. Plenty of other helpful reasons too!








  • Same here

    The level of pedantry in this thread is insane lmao. If grammar and spelling make your post indecipherable then sure, it’s annoying. Otherwise you’re being a whiny elitist illustrating your ignorance of the context of the written word. Not to mention some folks in this thread bemoaning people spelling incorrectly or using “wrong” grammar on purpose – ya know, like black people on the internet or the younger generations.



  • It’s not exactly what you mean, but merely mentioning abstinence evokes abstinence educators in the US for me. Abstinence education is bullshit. What kid needs to be told the only way to avoid STDs is to not have sex? Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Abstinence educators are by and large Christian fundamentalists who go to schools to lie about sex and try to scare kids out of it.

    Somehow I attended a public school which had one of these “educators” come by and preach about the purity of abstinence to my entire class. It was surreal and insulting to our intelligence.

    Let’s see your funny and cohesive movie world and story written, performed, and edited to youtube for millions then! The world building is pretty basic and derivative, but it’s at its heart closer to a satire than anything resembling a serious story. I think there was significant effort in building, but also writing recording, etc.
