    A think to note is that a lot of people can begin displaying symptoms of ADHD as an adult, once the structure of life as a child goes away. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 23, and we never would have even considered I had it until I was 21. If you’re relating to a lot of ADHD stuff, it might be worth getting tested. Worst case scenario, you don’t have it but get pointed towards other supports for you struggles.

      Thank, I’ve been an adult for a longtime now. I experienced a burnout a few years ago, it created lot of cognitive issues and sometimes I feel like I never fully recovered. Nothing life changing but enough for sometimes getting stuck not doing something I want or need to do, Anxious procrastination., And losing something I held in my hand a few seconds ago. Staying focused for a long time is harder than it used to etc. Hence my question about acquiring ADHD.

        I agree with @Zwiebel@feddit.org, since the symptoms appeared suddenly like that. At least it could provide some clarity as to the cause and/or potential solutions
