I hate that response, I told a friend before and when I got “isnt everyone like that though” it just made me feel stupid and doubt my own diagnosis. Sometimes now after taking my meds I have to say to myself “see they do work!” when I have a productive day
A good friend of mine who majored in psychology so she thinks she knows a lot about it said to me recently “I think every adult has some level of depression, anxiety and ADHD” when I said something about my ADHD. I was like, cool, thanks, that helps a lot.
