      I’ve had a feeling that I might have it for a while but idk what to do. It seems like there’s probably not a sureshot way to know I have it? And if I don’t, it’ll always feel like an excuse to other people.

        This is literally the diagnostic criteria: https://add.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/adhd-questionnaire-ASRS111.pdf

        Have a go and see if the questions resonate

          OOF

          I was wondering why all these memes were attacking me so much…

          Thank you so much for that link.
          A lot of these questions hit close to my own experiences. I should really get something done about this.

      You are voluntarily here and finding common ground with an ADHD meme. If you’ve felt like there’s something different about you and have been waiting for a Sign, this is it.

      Just keep an open mind, since a lot of different things can cause ADHD like symptoms. “I actually don’t have ADHD” is also important information, and a good psychiatrist or therapist can help guide you to wherever the truth lies.
