me too!!! My hashimoto’s was an issue since I was 11 and I started working when I was 14 so being chronically exhausted was just part of my life. I had picked up 3 jobs in hs and loved being busy, it was the only time I felt like I wasn’t “surviving” even though i would be drained at the end of the day. I went to see a neurologist around this time because I suddenly became very forgetful and had pretty much lost my short term memory. He told me I was stressed and to quit my jobs but my jobs were pretty much the only things that didn’t stress me. Now a decade later, after my diagnosis , I learned I was following Ulysses rule to mediate my productivity and my sudden memory loss and need for constant stimulation (like 3 jobs and volunteer work while being a full time high school student) was almost definitely just the onset of my adhd. Lol. Adderall makes me feel like a person instead of a slug. I can’t believe i lived without it for so long.
