Stash, I went around with my head in the ADHD cloud for weeks, if not months, after that first “Aha” moment. I just couldn’t believe that there was a valid reason for my behaviours, and that the symptoms fit me like a worn in pair of comfy shoes. I lived on the internet, doing multiple tests, posting in forums, and generally researching ADHD. But eventually life got busy, my son borrowed my laptop for school every day (after negotiating with his teachers to be allowed to use one in class to prevent him losing paperwork and to allow for faster work – his writing is slow and untidy, but he types fast), and my brain shifted gear and ADHD moved further back in my thoughts and no longer hijacked my every waking (and sleeping!!) thought. Then my appointment time started to get closer and my thought once again began to revolve around ADHD and the appointment. Then I had a setback (read my “Aaaarrgghhh” post for details) and I am still waiting for things to happen. Now THAT is really messing with my mind because not only do I have to deal with not knowing what will happen and when it will happen, I also have to remember to make a phone call at a given time on Tuesday to find out if I can get a new appointment – not an easy thing for me to do!!
By the way, I have gone out with my nightie tucked into the track pants I wore to bed, and just chucked a jacket over the top to hide it all, because I have been caught short in the morning.
Wolfshades, I love your comeback comment for those who say they “do that al the time too”. I am the queen of comebacks, but not until it’s too late to say them 🙄 It’s the reason why I have so many social anxieties. I am always one step behind everyone else, because my brain just does not seem to keep up and process things fast enough for me to reply appropriately at the right time. Or else I am so excited by actually thinking of something to say when it IS the right time, that I blurt it out at the top of my lungs and deafen everyone 
And of course, there is always the tangents I go off on…..
