After years of personally suspecting I had ADHD I finally got tested and unsurprisingly I scored high on the scale for inattentive type. Now my therapist wants to talk to my pdoc about getting me on ADD meds. It turns out the therapist I was seeing for depression specializes in ADHD and could see my symptoms emerging as I got out of depression but still had struggles with time management and relationships. I thought it was still depression but now that I have a diagnosis I am looking at information about ADHD and shocked that what I thought were my unique personality traits are actually pretty common behaviors for those with attention deficit.

I hope I can now get appropriate treatment, because this is causing significant frustration in my life and has impacted my relationships to the point that I'm pretty much alone because I can't make plans. Not sure about meds but I don't see my pdoc again for a couple months anyway so I've got time to think about that. It would be nice if I could just take a pill and have it all go away but something tells me it's going to be more work than that.
