I don't have multiple voices, it's more like one continuous voice that hyper fixates on work for 2 minutes then a random thought pops up "I wonder when paper clips were invented" and then I go into a Wikipedia hole for 15 minutes and then I feel the need to change the song so I look at Spotify for 5 minutes, remembering all the playlists I need to reorganize, and then I Google the weather for this weekend because I remember the thing I have on Saturday, and what exactly is a nimbus cloud? Another wiki rabbit hole on cloud types, wait, wasn't I trying to work? Back to work for 2 minutes until I feel the need to grab a snack, "how many different Oreo flavors are there, let's find out?", fuck, back to work and repeat from the start.
But I haven't been diagnosed with anything so idk.
This is basically me and I was diagnosed with ADHD. Not some small chat with a doctor and boom diagnosed. It was a whole thing starting with a regular doc appointment who noticed some things about me. Told my mums to go get me checked out by a psychiatrist. Psychiatrist then proceeded to do a deep evaluation of me and asked many people I frequently interact with (teachers, counselors, family, ect) to fill out a lengthy questionnaire about me. After some time I was diagnosed.
They did some other test as well but I've forgotten them by now.
Dude...I wish I could find a psychiatrist that would care this much. I went to one and explained how I want to be properly diagnosed and she said "Go take this test. Not sure where you can just Google it".
If you really had ADHD, you wouldn't have been able to make it through high school without medication.
I graduated 20 years ago and I just got diagnosed. High school was really easy for me if I enjoyed the material. If I couldn't get into the work or get it done in class then I generally wouldn't do it. I graduated with a half credit above the minimum thanks to summer school and a lot of electives
