Do you have ADHD? And Are meds worth it?

I was diagnosed when I was 23/24. I had just been promoted to a position with a lot of responsibility, and computer work. I was struggling to learn Microsoft excel. I was afraid I would fail, or worse, get demoted or fired… It was my favorite job I had ever had, but I hated the computer data side of it. So I made an appt with my doctor. He sent me home with forms, and scheduled my test. Turns out… yep, ADHD… I wasn’t lazy, I wasn’t broken… I was VALIDATED. That, for me, was the turning point. I found a book called “think fast” about different types of brains, adhd-ers. It made me feel seen. Suddenly, a whole new world of possibility opened up. My husband, then boyfriend, started to understand me better. He got less angry with me when I left things laying around. I felt a level of unbrokenness I had never felt before. I wasn’t new to the medical diagnosis world, I spent half of my childhood as a scoliosis kid in and out of doctors and hospitals. This diagnoses, didn’t deflate my soul… it filled it. I wasn’t seeking a diagnoses for medication, although I started and it was a rough go at first.. I was seeking answers. When I got them, my life was forever changed.
