Ask HN: How is your life after getting ADHD/ADD Diagnosis?

I am 28 and have been suffering enough to know for sure that I am ADHD. I am a bit sceptic with going to a psych and getting a diagnosis. Mostly because of side-effects of the medicine. I developed a lot of hacks to stay on task and complete them such as coffee, pomodoro, google calender, white noise music etc.

But recently, it has been overwhelming for me to focus, and since last months, it seems I have no at all. Everything seems fking hard. Even the little ones. Also, I have rejection sensitive dysphoria and some off-handed comment replays in my brain like a blockbuster movie in theatre.

I am thinking about going to psych next week and get a proper evaluation and if possible meds.

How has been your life after meds or diagnosis?
