Not sure how much sense it makes to comment on my own post, but thinking about ADHD sparked another question that’s probably not worth a sep post: if, as seems more and more likely, I indeed have ADHD, and it’s what makes me unproductive and therefore indirectly what made me depressed, … then I really should think about how people who discovered they had ADHD only relatively late, after it had made them make a few poor choices, managed to spring back, and ‘recover’ not from ADHD, but from the consequences of having had undiagnosed untreated ADHD. Any advice on that?
Yes; look at the adhd subreddit. Don’t let it be an excuse to just read every account and then waste time. But there are some really inspirational stories and shared resources there, a lot of it for people who were diagnosed as adults.
