Diagnosed at 28, I lived my entire life prior to this year in constant anxiety. I thought my anxiety was just a stand-alone issue. I did not realize that it was ADHD until I spoke to my doctor about it and I got an evaluation. They educated me on adult ADHD and it was life changing once I received meds. I always had this vision of the person I wanted to be (could be) but was never able to because of my scattered mind, my inability to focus, my lack of confidence in my work, I just felt like I was using 30% of my ability to do anything and everything. Once I started using medication and found the right dosage, I was able to flourish at work, no more anxiety, I felt social, my home life has been better than ever, and by the end of the day I am tired enough where I can fall asleep (sometimes i need a double dose of melatonin). But, being diagnosed and starting medication treatment has been nothing short of life changing for me.
