I saw a U tube video that described rejection sensitivity, zoning out, hyper focus, difficulty regulating focus , very impulsive, very reaction vs , constantly starting new things but not finishing, needing deadlines to get things done ... and went uh huh that's me. I ve feel like it went unnoticed because I'm seen as super bright, pick things up fast, someone that's sociable and brings energy and ideas ... little did they know what I battle. One year I lost 12 sets of front door keys, 8 credit cards, my family joke about my time keeping. It hurts I try so hard to get it together. I live by lists.... what's about you ?

This was the same for me. It all suddenly clicked and my MH has massively improved.

It was tiktok, kept showing me adhd videos and I thought oh that's funny I do that, oh I do that as well, yep that's me, er this isn't funny anymore! Massive shock to the system that there was a reason behind my struggles was elated when diagnosed br reality is setting in

I read an online ADHD about inattentive ADHD and immediately knew that was me.

I read up on it as my son struggled to concentrate and thought this sounds very familiar.
