Probably am going to have to get medicated for adhd, and I don't want to (lemmygrad.ml)

So I've come to a realization after about a couple decades of stress and shit that I probably have adhd. Obviously I don't want to for sure since I haven't been diagnosed, but when I'm literally yelling at myself to do stuff and can't stay focussed on basically anything, and get extremely overwhelmed via information overload, etc. It's a good idea to get checked out.

But...I don't want the medicine. I don't know why but I dont like the idea of it. I take other medications, heartburn meds, cold medicine, vaccines, etc. But I dont like shit messing with my head. I don't even drink coffee (and I don't drink or smoke either. Hell, im even reluctant to take painkillers) It causes such anxiety in me, I don't exactly know why either. But the me who is shit and can't focus and whatever is all I've known. I dont want to be someone else because I took a little pill filled with chemicals. It's stupid. I know its stupid. If this was someone else talking to me I'd be saying "well You'd improve yourself and you're just making yourself focus like a normal prrson." But I have such a fear of...of whatever I fear. I don't understand.

Thanks comrade. This really resonated with me. Currently borderline (doc said non stimulant, but imma take another test just to get a clearer diagnosis), and this is really encouraging.
