i think i have adhd

did some internet research over the last few days

holy fuck it resonates 

like there's words for that??? those ~things~ i do???? i'm not the only one?????

this is such a relief. 

even just preliminary internet research has given me more tools and strategies 

my roommate read one of the articles i gave him and said "yes, yes, yes. this is 100% a description of the person i live with."

i want to cry from relief. 

(i'm not just an unpredictably-shitty person. i'm not broken. i'm not the only person whose brain functions like this. there's words for why it does that.)

I'd thought that this stigma of not diagnosing "spacey" girls because add is typically manifested in girls without the hyperactivity is something in the past but then I recall your own upbringing. I know several adults diagnosed with ADD late. I know there are some wonderful resources out there too. Definitely talk to your doctor (and you can do that now that you have health insurance!!)
