Finally being diagnosed with ADHD has affected me deeply, being treated for depression for years almost killed me! My hypersensitivity is understood now, and I’m finally making decisions that make sense for me. What most people thought they seen as depression was antisocial behavior. I have musical abilities I always have, so a withdrawn attitude was not something I saw as a sign of concern. As an adult and being a woman I was in an uphill battle to prove there was nothing wrong with me. I spent time in a mental facility where I met one doctor who asked me one question that changed my life…have you ever been tested for ADHD? I said no. After being tested and being put on the medication my life has been much safer. My husband and now adult children, much more understanding. I fit somewhere…I’m ok now 💃
