im so sorry for your loss  thank you so much for sharing this i made this account when i saw this because i didnt want to just lurk but say a few words  when i read the top part saying 24 year old with undiagnosed and overlooked adhd it made me cry because for the last 21 years of my life i was in that position  i cant tell you how many times i felt so stupid so worthless so alone the whole world was passing me by and i felt helpless in my childhood and adolescence it felt like a neverending nightmare  im sitting here with minor insomnia at the moment because a few days ago i was finally diagnosed with adhd at the age of 23 and began treatment for it and the amount of happiness ive felt over the last 2 days has been overwhelming i couldnt see the light at all i was so afraid it would never come but it finally did and im so grateful for all the people around me who have supported me in my search for the answers to why my brain acts the way it does  the kind of person you are i could never thank you enough for being you and caring the way you honor your  friend is beautiful i truly wish there were more in the world like you the light for me came but its only the beginning theres so much i have to do to catch up and better understand myself and you inspired me to want to help others who were in my predicament find their light  if anybody ever feels like their life isnt worth it please know it is sometimes life truly feels bleak and not worth it but there will always be somebody who cares about you and sees you as a person who deserves love and compassion and care whether its a loved one that not-so-strange-stranger or me the world is a scary place but were never truly alone and it took finding the adhd subreddit and seeing all of these people who have gone through the same struggles as me to really feel like im not alone in this big world   thank you so much for sharing this you are a kind person and i can only hope that others will find their light as i did
