    I just want to say that I think its really unfair for all of you ADHD people to be posting things day after day that I relate to so heavily, as a definitely not ADHD person.

    Sigh I guess I should start scheduling some appointments

      Yep, by no means exclusive to adhd.

      I can’t count the amount of times I’ve found myself in my bedroom or kitchen, with, like, a hammer in one hand and computer mouse in the other, not knowing what the hell I’m doing.

      I thought the same for quite a long time, and admittedly, im still not convinced that i dont have adhd, but i did recently learn i have a folate deficiency. That can lead to a type of anemia, and in combination gave me a lot of symptoms that looks like adhd (memory loss, fatigue, inability to concentrate, lack of fucks to give, brain fog). A simple supplement did a ton to get me back on track

            Appreciate the info. Honestly after reading this I took a plunge and went for A D K as well. I’ll see what I can dig up on B9. Thanks!
