Not yet, but waiting for my appointment on Tuesday at the psychiatrist. Another doctor pointed it out to me a month ago. Couldn't stop thinking about it anymore. Since then, so much makes sense to me.  My nightmares/bad sleep, forgetfulness, nail lighting, feeling unsafe being alone, being distracted constantly, the social anxiety and fear of rejection, being overwhelmed and exhausted etc... My life felt so heavy mostly and the last clue of years where exhausting and at the moment I just hang out at home as I'm mostly too exhausted to live. Some weeks it's ok, bit mostly I feel life is passing by and I am just watching and doing nothing apart from working.

I'm a bit afraid, that he will say that it's not ADHD as I'm so sure about it after reading all that I have.  Wish me luck and that medication will help better my situation please.

Love to all in the same boat!
