Hi ettan ,im in the process of being diagnosed myself ,I realised this year something really off for many years .
I did a questionnaire at the phycologists the other day and it was the same one I’ve seen on ADHD websites like this one.
because my ADHD brain manifested in addictions I have to be careful with meds but I will try them.

Depending on your age and physical activity you could be burning off more energy than your putting in ,food=fuel.
being under weight isn’t very good for us from what I’ve read .
set an alarm on your phone to remind you too eat and chew food really good to help digestion .ide change diet to the 80/20 rule ,80%good 20% bad .you will have to up your calories to gain weight .you could need 3000 calories a day just sitting around. The problem with garbage food is the salt and lack of nutrient dense calories .
Peace.

Hi WD ,I empathise deeply with your frustration ,ive realised this year ive had ADHD most my life and im struggling to cope with the “what ifs”.
The end of the month I’m going for my assessment.
Im 4 years sober but I can see looking back that was only the start of my journey. How I’m alive ile never know. But it doesn’t look like I got away with it ,chronic anxiety and depression this year has me housebound .undiagnosed anxiety most of my life also.

I keep falling into the self pity trap ,but eventually ile have to find a way out and try help others be aware ,it seems to be the only way to counteract the self destructive anger over it being missed when I was younger. I day dream with “what ifs” it had been seen ,even in my 20s when my drinking and partying was way too much.
Dam I’m struggling these days.
We keep learning and keep hope alive ,this self compassion alludes me these days ,but we need to find it.
Take care on your journey .
