How about exercising?

I loved sports when I was younger but due to my mum's (crazily conservative) views, I was not allowed to act in an 'unlady like' manner. In university (only diagnosed after I started working - and I was so unconvinced I went for a second opinion) I realised that I became so much more energetic, focused after going to the gym.

While I wish I've been diagnosed earlier, I think I m glad I didn't take medications as a child. It can't be that good. Even now I can feel the uncomfortable side effects
