At age 41, I just figured out I have ADHD, I assumed my entire life that I had a complex set of flaws.

I am 50. After reading a lot about the subject, I also suspect I am affected - my whole life. Getting an appointment with a psychiatrist to be sure right now. It would explain so much...

Well good luck - Vyvanse has a generic version now and has been working wonders for my 40 year old self... Except for the insomnia tonight.

I figured it out last year, I was 39. You're in good company.

I just couldn't figure it out until I came across information about ADHD and everything clicked. I'd be lying to say that I haven't had moments of self doubt and imposter syndrome like the op suggests.

To me, at the end of the day, whether I'm actually ADHD or not, I have very similar tenancies and traits and the treatment works for me. That's all that really matters.
