My ADHD has always affected my life, I just never knew what it was until I was an adult. It wasn't until I went to therapy to deal with my personal life that had finally spun out of control that it was identified and I sought an official dx and medication. Now that I've been on medication, I've gotten my other issues under control and am doing a lot better overall. Eventually my goal is to taper off the meds and life a balanced med free life.
