Such a cute lil face!

I've developed the exact same strategies that you named. Life still feels so damn hard. Looking forward to getting on medication.

What happened to the platform below?

Don't worry, all you need is a free ISA slot!

I'm still undiagnosed too, but I have my first diagnostic appointment scheduled in March. I was in a similar situation as you, there's only one single doctor for adult ADHD in my state, which is why I first had to wait almost a year for the waiting list to open and then another 4 months until the actual appointment.

I'm pinning all my hopes on this diagnosis. My ADHD traits have been causing a lot of friction in my previous relationship and the first issues are emerging in my current one.

I can't say if it will make your stress go away, but maybe the focus you gain will eliminate some of the causes of stress. If you really suspect you might have ADHD, I can only advise you to look into it. Maybe there are self-help groups in your area that you can use to bridge the gap until you get an official diagnosis.

Exactly. Knowing something in a variety of fields enabled me to fix devices and appliances, work on my car, do all kinds of home crafts, bond with people over shared interests, dive into more complex topics, the list goes on. I never needed to call a technician/craftsmen. And I certainly don't want to be a worker drone that can do one thing and one thing only (not meant to sound condescending).

As Adam Savage once said:

Jack of all trades, master of none, though often better than a master of one

and that's the hill I'm willing to die on

Thanks for the read, that sent me down an interesting rabbit hole

Unfortunately I've got nothing to add, just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. The feeling of guilt and the inability to structure my day are making me depressed. The company I'm working for doing an absurd amount of "status meetings" is the icing on the cake.

That's exactly what made me finally pull the trigger. I would never have guessed how easy the transition would be.

That looks so crunchy!

That sounds awesome! I doubt there is but need to look for something like this in my area!

It's the same thing for me. There's a good chance I'll do something productive but I tend to get jittery as well.

Danke für den Hinweis, das war mir gar nicht bewusst!

Oh my god, the distractibility at work without (or even with) coffee in the morning is so real. I even get the "buzz" feeling that you describe which can feel very unnerving at times.

I don't think I drink that much, at work its usually one in the morning and one right after lunch to avoid the food-induced coma. Max 1 or 2 on the weekends. Can't imagine going a full month without it though, lol.

I have checked, and there's really only one that specializes in adult ADHD. Already called them but I have to wait until the waiting list for 2025 opens in december.

I got an immediate appointment through 116 117, that was the worst therapist I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Brushed off ADHD as a "Modediagnose" (not sure how to translate this, negatively connotated trending diagnosis?) and we thankfully never talked about any further appointments

Engine start sound

Unacceptable! The people demand beans!

Sweet! What is it made of? I can't quite tell
