this might be a part of why i didnt take diagnosis seriously for so long i struggled for years and have lost jobs to it but just thought it was my fault not the adhd because every time i tried to understand it all i heard was that it affects kids and goes away for adults and with every other article being about kids i really believed that   but it doesnt go away its only gotten worse so clearly that was a lie of which i am very aware now but could not know then
