Yep, me too! I just went on medication in May of this year! So, YOU should seek treatment...now!! You are lucky if someone diagnosed you. I've spent my ENTIRE life w/ severe ADHD but no one EVER checked me for that! No! They said I had Borderline P.D., said I was depressed, said I had "mood swings" and yet ALL of these symptoms are shared w/ ADHD/Dyslexia. After dozens of hospitalizations, dozens of shrinks....just ONE Psychologist (James Brown! "WOO!...I feel good...you know that I would now..")...not THAT James brown, but he sure did bring things into focus! I went to this doc when I needed an evaluation for my McJob so they wouldn't fire me for misreading the schedule.
He honed right in on the ADHD. WHY did it take until I was THIS advanced age to figure it out...by PROFESSIONALS! In a way I'm pissed for ALL the time I suffered in college! I COULD have been a Veterinarian...IF only....
So, seek treatment and a "coach" if your psyc. does that too.
I am "self-coaching" using the book; "The Disorganized Mind"...see Amazon Books. You will learn ALOT from that. I mean it! Once you are medicated, you will be able to focus and then realize what your ADD symptoms are and therefore, you can begin correcting them.
It's been a life saver for me!!...No more "suicidal ideations", no more "pent up rage", etc. Good luck and keep us posted. Shalom, Hannah
