Haha if it gets past a week or two I consider it a lost cause and would be weird to reply that late, doesn't stop it from popping into my head from time to time though.

I too have a few friends where it was a super painless experience and the almost jealousy is real!

On the history, yeah exactly, ironically I thought back to when I was real young and in 2nd grade they had me in a "special class" so I wouldn't disrupt the other students, probably should have been a sign but eh. Once I became more self aware I worked to keep myself from expressing my inner thoughts as frequently, which kinda sucks but it's also fair lol.

I didn't know it presented differently in men and women honestly, I should do more research on that!

At this point unless it benefited my life in some way to have an official diagnosis (like meds) I don't really see why I would go through all the effort and money to seek professional help. It doesn't help that I picked up thc as a self medication tool and most docs would then just assume the issues are due to that. Can't really explain to them in a state where that's illegal lol.

I have taken several different types of meds for adhd (from my siblings prescriptions) and it truly is transformational on my ability to focus and keep that focus for a long period of time, even if I get off-track it's much easier to get back in that prior state of mind. I don't love the idea of having to take a pill every day, but I also feel like I'm not living up to my actual potential as I am now.

I do see the point of having proof though, not just "too lazy" or "forgetful" a legit medical condition. Even then though, so many people have no understanding of what it's like and the implications it has on so many minute things in life.

I hadn't heard of DAMP but seems like it was more a thing in Sweden and Denmark then in the USA.
