Thanks for the support. I’m already sweaty, so I guess I’ve got nothing to lose!

I know how stupid it sounds, but it’s actually kind of scary to think about my brain not working like it has for the past 40 some years. I know that it’s broken, but I’ve spent so long altering my life to the brokenness, that fixing it makes me nervous.

This may be one of the few places where people will understand what it’s like to know that all of those things are true, yet STILL be unable to take the actions required to do anything about it.

Thanks for sharing! That actually sounds really great.

I’m in my 40s and didn’t even realize that I had ADHD until a few years ago. Between my inhibitions and difficulty starting the conversation, I’ve been unable to get myself medicated.

And it kind of bytes.

Dammit Jim! I’m a doctor not a comedian!

Keep practicing, get those numbers up, and next thing you know, you’ll have a wife and two offspring!

I’m right there with you! That was the only one that I refuse to do!

Do you think it’d be less popular if they hadn’t come up with a fun nickname for Botulism Toxin?

Wilma would have some explaining to do if she was Cocoa Pebbles!

I got it instantly! Thanks Diablo 2!

Don’t be silly, it’s not like the US has a history of deeming that certain groups of people are inferior to others and forcing them into involuntary labor.

I mentioned it once to my Primary doctor, and he went on a rant about how those are “performance enhancers” and anybody would be able to function better on them and essentially said that he refused to let me cheat life that way.

My insurance has a stupid high deductable, so I have to pay everything out of pocket, so I’m not bothering with the search and paperwork required to talk to a mental health professional.

I wouldn’t know, I can’t even afford the diagnosis.

My beard.

Dang. I feel that more than you know.

I usually just smoke a blunt, forget about them and play video games.

Would not recommend. None of this shit is getting done!

Congratulations! Now it’s time for the magic!

That’s a good way of describing my system. I put the bills on auto pay and stop spending when it runs out.

I’m reluctant to blame anything besides increased awareness for any increase in diagnosis.

I didn’t discover that I had it until I was almost 40, and I’m sure many others my age STILL don’t realize that they have it.
