    just dropping in to say that as a clinician, most of what is posted in here is bullshit. it’s actually pretty frustrating and ill probably have to unsub soon. for my own sanity.

    I mean get assessed but dont take anything you see here seriously. ANYTHING.

      Or perhaps clinicians are generally unfamiliar with the lived experience of ADHD. I’m diagnosed, and nothing any medical professional told me has helped jack shit so far.

          Apparently to critisize what ADHD folks experience…

          Rule 1. Clinician or not, just because it effects other people, doesn’t mean it doesn’t effect those with ADHD. We’re not doctors, we’re people with lived experiences that always tell people to get checked by a doctor if they’re affected by these symptoms in a way that it effects their lives.

        You maybe have ADHD, but you and also OP probably also have a bunch of other stuff that may or may not be diagnosed that explains all those symptoms.
