i likely had my whole life inattentive but after my confusion in 2016 i finally got diagnosed went through trauma from 2017 till getting past it in quarantine not sure if this is add related or introvert only child but thrived in 2020 and so i’m finally able to first start learning about this for the first time  my brain finally has enough capacity to unpack it and it’s been astonishing how many behaviors or maladaptive tendencies that have been explained by this disorder i’m not getting better yet so while very validating is also quite annoying lol  my roommate and i both have it she’s the hyper attentive type she doesn’t really understand the way my adhd manifests whatsoever so i often feel like she either doesn’t believe me or thinks i’m just then shitty in general inattentive manifests in such a different way  this post made me feel seen but for the first time in a good way this sub has helped me more mentally than some therapy stunts and rabbit hole research
