I think so. I have mild ADHD apparently. It makes sense and explains why I have so much difficulty doing things sometimes.

So now I know. I got meds for it but don’t take them (as others will say, how messed up is it that the cure to ADHD is a pill to take regularly?). The meds help tremendously when I do take them, and revert me back to what I’m used to when I don’t.

At worst, it’s just how I’ve lived my life before but knowing it’s not exactly my fault I feel so bad doing certain things. It’s still my problem to do them, as it was before, but knowing helps a little. And at best I have medication that helps. All upsides!

Also if you think it’s depression, I’d recommend a CBT book like Feeling Good. Self treatment is effective. I am not depressed but have still benefited from recognizing when my thoughts are irrational and redirecting them to more realistic, less unhappiness-inducing ones. Could be good practice until you get a therapist, and per the research, can be about as effective as having one (likely for low level depression, I am not an expert)
