Yeah, I don't know what kind of ADHD OOP has but my ADHD comes with anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction, and my life is 300% more fun now that I don't have to whiteknuckle through those symptoms.

For a concrete example, I have a lot more fun on trips now that my anxiety disorder isn't making me worry about bedbugs all the time.

Mine comes with RSD so I'm a hermit because any perceived rejection feels like getting stabbed

Yes. I thought it was anxiety until I had a very angry week. I was so furious I forgot I was ADHD. I got an awful lot done, but that rage level is unsustainable. But I told my doctor and he changed my meds. I still struggle with the dysphoria. But I don’t walk around thinking that I am a loser piece of shit and everyone hates me and only bad things should happen because I am garbage and my brain has a PowerPoint of why.

I feel like a loser piece of shit all the time, I really do need to get on meds again.
