  Sometimes life just feels like it takes more energy than I have.

  Finding a healthcare professional is one thing. Affording the treatment is another.

  As a former teacher, as well as late diagnosed ADHD, I can tell you that most people don&apos;t recognize that there are different types of intelligence. All of them are valuable to a well functioning society.

  People exhaust me at this point. I can only stand my closest ones. Most others drain the heck out of me. I no longer have the energy or will to fake interest. 30secs in a social convo and I start dissociating. I practically look thru their brains off to the distance.

  If you don&apos;t understand yourself how can you ever explain &nbsp;to anyone else &nbsp;. &nbsp;With many of the conversations you have I feel like I am understanding me for the first time , I&apos;m often crying &nbsp;. I&apos;m nearly 70 and I&apos;ve felt lost all my life , still undiagnosed &nbsp;and sent away by doctors .

  I struggle to Procrastinate going to sleep, i struggle to stay awake for no reason, fighting myself to go up to bed. Then i watch the clock all night, cant sleep bc i have something i need to get up for, then i cant get anything done all day until i go do that thing i need to do. Then im exhausted! ❤❤❤

  Finally, someone who explains in the most profound detail how we literally survive most of the time instead of living. It&apos;s a daily inner struggle to be able to do normal things that come naturally to someone without ADHD.

  I am a 54 year old woman. I just got diagnosed with ADHD, combined type today. It&apos;s such a relief, because it explains my WHOLE life. All the things the doctor in this video said are so accurate.I feel like he&apos;s describing me. I&apos;ve always felt different and misunderstood. I&apos;ve struggled my whole life, always thinking the way I was, was my fault. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. The depression got better with meds, but the anxiety never did. I&apos;m really looking forward to trying ADHD meds. I can&apos;t even imagine what it might feel like to have my brain calm down!
