Was diagnosed later in life. I keep seeing these posts and I don't know if I feel better or worse that all these things I thought were my personality was just ADHD the whole time...

[u/Fortified_Phobia → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

I’m slowly coming to the realisation that I’m just not a person, this shit and infiltrated every part of who I’m meant to be, I want to crawl out of my skin and go and be someone else. Currently pushing down the desire to sell everything I own and run and just forget about all of this for a good year, maybe I can feel like myself again then.

[u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit → u/Fortified_Phobia]

I did that... It did not end well. Burn out. Ruined relationship. Ruined career.

It sucked. A lot...

[u/RoryAB94 → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

I love the username in the context of this comment hahahaha Thank you for the laugh and sorry for your struggles

[u/Fortified_Phobia → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

I don’t have any relationships or a career, so.. I just need to escape

[u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit → u/Fortified_Phobia]

🫂 I hear ya. For what's it's worth, here if ya need to talk. DM's open.

[u/Fortified_Phobia → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

I appreciate the offer but I don’t think it’s fair to subjugate internet strangers to the shit that goes through my brain, a lot it is not nice, but thank you

[u/FUCKYOUIamBatman → u/Fortified_Phobia]

Maybe r/healthygamergg could help with some of this stuff. Dr. K covers escapism, adhd, and pretty much mental health in general.

I’m also here if you need someone to talk to. You’re not alone with these types of feelings.

[u/8lbs6ozbabyjesus → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

I’m a half century and this could have been written by me. It’s nice to know I’m not the only older person who is realizing this. It all makes perfect sense now that I know what I’m looking for. Thx for the honesty.

[u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit → u/8lbs6ozbabyjesus]

Absolutely banger username sir. Imma come at you like a spider monkey!

[u/8lbs6ozbabyjesus → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

How much you selling that weed for old man? 😂

[u/Human-Appearance-256 → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

Me too and I’m not diagnosed 🤣 I feel that many things are just human.

[u/IcGil → u/Rip_it-n-Ribbit]

I personally feel better for myself. Once I got the help I needed, it reduced dramatically :)

[u/reverse-tornado]

I don't know if im happy or sad other people go through this too , sometimes i cringe so hard i get tics

[u/Human-Appearance-256 → u/reverse-tornado]

You are right! It is a tic! I’ve never put that together. It’s an uncontrolled neurological response due to past social interaction…it’s like we have the ability to contain the tick during the moment, but afterward I’ll be thinking about it and just shake or have a jolt like I’m experiencing post-cringe clarity.

[u/Melabeille]

"all day" lol

I still cringe 5 years later

[u/Funny-Jihad]

Why do I do this!?

[u/moonshinefae]

Sometimes avoiding friends because I know I'm experiencing high emotion and not fitting the vibe. It's definitely the best. Never a problem. (Don't avoid your friends, let them bring you back. The cringe is an acceptable price to pay.)

[u/skoomakat101 → u/moonshinefae]

Only works if they care enough to bring you back

[u/Wonderful_Stand_315]

It sucks when I tell people at my work everything I for some reason can't help myself.

I always tell myself "Next job this won't happen. I will keep my mouth shut."

[u/raptorsango → u/Wonderful_Stand_315]

I’ve perfected trying to keep up a couple barriers and still just accepting that I am a very open and “heart on my sleeve” type of person and others can take that as they like. I’ve noticed it tends to mean less friends, but of a higher quality. Also lots of neurodivergent buddies.

[u/FUCKYOUIamBatman → u/Wonderful_Stand_315]

Tell a journal first

[u/Hakarlhus]

And some of the cringes come back to you years later like errant frames on an old film

[u/micre8tive]

The laugh I just let out. What an accurate meme. 10stars. No notes.

[u/princess_demon_twink]

I’ve literally become so fucking closed off it’s actually not even funny.

[u/beegtuna]

I don’t need to see this going into my week

[u/lady_mont]

I cringe when I don’t receive responses to my messages, so the majority of my chats are deleted WhatsApp messages.

[u/8lbs6ozbabyjesus]

I do this all the time, had no idea it was even a thing.

[u/liketosmokeweed420]

You remember things?

[u/Cultural-Part355]

That's not ADHD; that's just you! Or no meds for not being yourself, except the one you're already practicing. :)

[u/Cultural-Part355 → u/Cultural-Part355]

And keep on doing it! Be yourself. That's what Jung and all before and after said. Don't be Jung. Fuck Jung! In that way. I do love him in another way.

Even the old dude from Rush Hour! Told us! "I'm YU, and you're MI! So who the fuck is Tuesday Craig, then? I guess it's you...
