I went in an ADHD rabbit hole a week ago.
I never considered my self suffering from it, my quirks were individual parts of my character!
But now I highly suspect I have it.
I lose focus all the time. For example, Going from doing laundry, to gathering dishes, and bringing out trash without finishing one of them. Or I can't read long articles with topics that are important for me but don't tickle one of my interests. I've started reading countless books for only 20-30 pages.
Also, it feels impossible to plan for/estimate longer time periods and I'm constantly bouncing my knee or stimm in another way.
I started freelancing because I couldn't get to work at the same time every day and even now I just work 5-10h a week, because my lack of motivation for repeating tasks.
I thought, well it's biological, I can't have it, my relatives are all normal... But wait, my mother did impulse purchases all the time, was switching jobs constantly and even retired with 50, because of that.
Whelp, guess I should get a psychiatrist soon...
