  I&apos;ve been told I couldn&apos;t possibly have ADHD because I have a degree. They didn&apos;t want to hear, &quot;But that took three separate colleges and 7 years to finish&quot;.

  We’ve let women down. Full stop. That is the whole message universally

  One of the hardest things about ADHD is feeling so misunderstood and judged

  I was so independent as a child because i could still manage things, but as i became an adult things got more and more overwhelming , until i burned out completely.

  Relief of diagnosis.<br>Despair of realizing that it will never change.

  I’m an 80 year old ADHD female. &nbsp;I’ve been professionally and financially successful. &nbsp;But life has been so so difficult. &nbsp;I see now that I’ve been masking my whole life. &nbsp;I believe that I’ve only been “successful “ because I funneled into careers that allowed me to be my own boss. &nbsp;I never worked well in groups because my mind was always way ahead of everyone and I couldn’t keep quiet or keep focused. &nbsp;It has been a very lonely life. Failed marriage. Right now I’m finding real freedom. I can be exactly who I am &nbsp;- no more overthinking, people pleasing, rehearsing conversations. &nbsp;I am who I am and people can take me or leave me. Actually I’m less lonely. People appear to want to be with me without my mask. &nbsp;I expect I’m seeing all this because older people are more accepting of old people and at this stage in life , nothing is very important to me anymore. <br>I &nbsp;like who I am .

  Psychedelics/psilocybin containing mushroom have proven a to be a reliable cure for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, OCD, insomnia, and other related disorders. Saved my life honestly.

  The way I started clapping and almost cried when he said &quot;I think an apology would be a slap in the face. What they actually want to see is action&quot;.

  Omg, this made me cry. I&apos;m a soon to be 67 year old with no diagnosis. My story has always been I&apos;m different, I don&apos;t fit in. The part about thinking you need down time before seeing a friend. What you are actually doing is rehearsing in your head and trying to remember what your friend said ... I thought this was what everyone did. I used to take notes but this made me feel worse. I&apos;m so grateful to know, I&apos;m not alone in this
