I just had a very enlightening experience!
Having just watched the new Jaiden video about her ADHD, it gave me thoughts.
I found it very relatable how she felt like she had things under control in her formative years compared to her current self that made her feel like she fell off after leaving high school. How she remembered being well organized and put together as a child but couldn't conjure up that same motivation and work ethic in her adult years. I felt that.
And how even after getting the idea that she might have ADHD, she put off getting diagnosed because of that mental back-and-forth of "oh maybe, oh maybe not". I'm feeling that
I'm at a point where while I am aware that I am some degree of neurodivergent, but don't know how much. And I'm also hesitant with getting a proper diagnosis because I don't know how to explain this to my parents.
It honestly does feel relieving how some of my experiences is/has also been experienced by a person I've looked up to for a long time, it feels validating.
