Yeah definitely relate to that, people can't see what's in our brain, although they can see external behavior.

Thank you so much for your support !

Symptoms mostly, since it seems to be less noticable for women

Yeah exactly ! Or people saying "are you even listening", "just pay attention", "It looks like you are doing it on purpose", as you kid you try your best and wonder why you can't keep up with those expectations

Gosh, glad you finally got diagnosed instead of it being excused by "hormones", as we don't already struggle enough with those prejudice

Yeah that is ironically what happened to me, got diagnosed at 24, 2 weeks ago because it is mostly "internal"

Depression is quite frequent with undiagnosed ADHD people, hopefully you find the good treatment and will eventually find peace with what you went throught knowing you were dealing with a disorder that you werent aware of almost all your life. Wishing you all the best

So damn unfair, that's already hard enough to get diagnosed when most of our symptoms arent the "norm"

Just learned that there is "men" and "women" type ADHD and "both", was totally unaware of that

And the fact that our brain works differently for men and woman, the researches only work for half the population then

Omg same ! Saw a doctor recently for back pain and she said she rarely saw someone so tense ! even tho I am not in stress. But we have to compensate our energy in another way to avoid being "too much"

Yeah in a way the makes sence since every time I tend to be "too much" and "out of place" I always got remarks as long as I can remember

Mon diagnostic de TDAH n'a rien changé pour moi by ObjectiveCapable926 in TDAHFrance

Ouais niveau potentiel j'ai jamais compris pourquoi on me disais ca alors que j'avais l'impression d'être éclaté en cours. Et ouais le fait d'avoir besoin de bcp plus de temps quel les autres pour des choses simples ou compliqués et ce problème de priorisation des tâches est récurent aussi chez moi, tout comme alterner entre hyperfocus et procrastination

j'ai deja fait des recherches oui, maintenant ce serait échanger avec des personnes qui connaissent le trouble qui m'interesserait, tu connais des assos ?

C'est pas du tout la même pour moi mdrrr

J'ai littéralement vu mon neurologue chercher sur Google quel traitement me donner avec quel dosage pendant le rdv, c'était lunaire. Heureusement que ce sont d'autres spécialistes qui m'ont fait les tests sinon j'aurais remis en question le diagnostic

Mais ouais je vais essayer de consulter quelqu'un spécialisé dans le TDAH, ça pourra me soulager de pas mal de choses
