That’s… That’s adhd? Like, I’m all of that. I don’t think I have adhd.

As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there’s a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe

It could be adhd, could be nothing, could be autism (poor executive function can be part of that). But it’s clear that you have the opportunity to get tested and improve your QoL. Your decision.

Tricky thing about being neurodivergent is most people have no idea that they‘ve been suffering so getting insight into their own situation (even if they‘re not over the threshold) is going to do much good for their situation. Knowing is always better than not knowing (imo).

Even when you are neurodivergent you can assess whether your life “works” or not. Social media and the idea to go get a diagnose just to know made it almost impossible (where I live) to get an appointment.

Doctors aren’t even putting you on a waiting list anymore. The victims of this are the people who really don’t have their life in order and aren’t managing to get an appointment.

And this really is following social media trends. Currently it is an ADHD hype, slowly merging into an autism hype.

There are more symptoms to ADHD and even then all of these appear in people without neurodevelopmental or psychological disorders as well. Especially when you live a stressful life.
