Hey Sadie,

I am 25 and went through a similar sort of thing when I was 20… that was the age I was first diagnosed too, and I had a tough time at university mainly due to my ADHD symptoms. I felt a lot of relief when I was first diagnosed, as well as a bit of skepticism, but the more I read about ADHD, the more I knew I related to it. I also went through an angry phase, as well as some depression. I think the only advice I can give you for getting through it is knowing that ADHD has a lot of positives…. creativity, different ways of thinking, an abundance of energy (sometimes), and a passion for life. I know these things aren’t universal among ADHDers, but these are the positives ADHD affords me and that I am grateful for. I have regrets about my time at university, but I believe I am all the stronger for going through those things. I believe that time will help make the anger melt away for you, as it did for me. I am now a stronger, more confident and successful person for it. Wishing you all the best….. things only get better with age, trust me! xx
