@Snowie , have you finished with ECT? How do you feel after it? Do you do anything in an attempt to maintain how things are for you?
@Captain24 , I have a lot of issue with directing focus. I hyperfocus a lot and struggle with sounds/noise. A few people (who I've never discussed these challenges with) automatically said I have ADHD. Actually, they just assumed. One person said, "Oh, because you're ADHD like me, ...." I was thinking.. I never said I was ADHD. This has happened a few times.
So I was talking to my coach about it and she was like, "Oh, I'm an adult ADHD assessor. I can do some of the paper work for you if you are interested." So I shared some of my challenges, and talked through why I may not want the dx. I said that I didn't want to take more meds. So she said she herself has ADHD and even though she's been an assessor for years, she never considered she had it herself. ALso she said she only takes meds when she NEEDS to concentrate in a big meeting or something.
She also noted it was interesting that I have been diagnosed with BPD because some of the symptoms are very similar...
Sorry for the long story @Captain24 . I don't even know who I've mentioned it to on the forums anymore lol - ADHD brain??
