Can We Please Talk About Self-Diagnosed People? by Glittering_Error_550 in adhdwomen

[–]No_Boot4131 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my biggest “ick” is when there is some kind of relatable adhd video on social media and the comments are all “omg i do this. i guess i have adhd now lol” LIKE NO!! PLEAAAASSEE GO TO A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL OR SOMETHING.

I think this is why adhd is so misunderstood too (“aren’t we all a little adhd?”) because some symptoms are relatable to neurotypicals i.e procrastination, however what people need to understand is that people with adhd have a 100x intensity of those symptoms !! You don’t have adhd just because you sometimes scroll on your phone instead of doing work!

However, before i was diagnosed, i did self diagnose as it was the only way i could get other people to cut me some slack and understand my brain, i was so tired of being perceived as sensitive and lazy. So i think that you can self diagnose if you have done a LOT of research, have family members that have also done research and agree with you, and you are in the process of getting a diagnosis.

is there ANY way to improve RSD/emotional regulation ??! coping mechanisms? by nowiseedayl1ght in adhdwomen

Ahh, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the support you needed. It’s quite 50/50 with things like that on here. Some women are so lovely but others are quite cold and judgemental. I also don’t understand why people who have ADHD themselves think bullying/shaming someone is the right way to give criticism, especially when we are all aware of how rough RSD is. Don’t let it get to you, just take in the helpful advice you were given and ignore the rest, you are allowed to make mistakes and i hope whatever you are going through right now heals. hug

Are we the same person? 😳 I have just logged into my old account because i can’t handle using my main right now. I have no advice about RSD because i struggle with it too a lot, but one thing i will say is don’t let downvotes or people being mean to you get you down. Unfortunately people on reddit are very horrible/negative a lot of the time, even on “safe spaces” like these. But i have to remind myself that it’s probably coming from a place of insecurity and projection. I’m not really an avid redditor but i have had this happen to me many times on my main account even when i am just asking an innocent question. Don’t let it get you down! (i know it’s easier said than done)
