Re: What's on your mind?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure I have ADD, though I haven't pursued a diagnosis yet. I have a circadian rhythm disorder that is strongly genetically linked with ADHD. The meds I'm taking for my circadian rhythm disorder are sometimes also prescribed off-label for ADHD, and when I started taking them, my executive function improved significantly, and my thinking just became a lot clearer, in a way that's hard to articulate. So yeah, fairly strong odds I have ADD.

What if I'm not autistic, what if I don't have ADHD, or depression, or PTSD, or knock-on effects from being born three months early, and I'm just a disorganized mess with no social skills and an encyclopedic knowledge of pointless random shit, headed down the road to hoarderdom, who can sort of clean my floor or hold down a full time job, but not both?

The thing I've been thinking over the past six months of noticeably improved functioning is this: If you're really struggling to function in some substantial way, and you've really, honestly tried your best to hack it--like I mean it's negatively affecting your life, and you deeply want to be better, and you have tried hard--and yet you're still struggling and not making much progress...then something is genuinely wrong. It's not just a personal failing. There is some invisible thing holding you down.

It may not be the first thing you think it is. It may be something that you aren't even aware of yet, or that simply hasn't crossed your mind to associate with yourself. But there is something. I don't want to say this is true 100% of the time, but probably 98% of the time, yeah. This is something I feel a lot of conviction about.
