      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.

      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.
