All of that said- You also need to know when a diagnosis is completely full of shit. You may just be use to being a lazy fuckhead. And you have to be very careful, for instance, if you really do find out something is wrong.
As an example, at first I allowed myself to start blaming this or that on ADHD. Well, if I let it just be "okay because I can't help it", I will never change.
You have to FACE what is wrong and be willing to work hard to change it - the medication is amazing because I have clarity, focus and am more able. But.
It is not going to build the road for me. It is not going to take the right path for me. Ability is nothing if I don't use it and work very hard to change my day to day habits and behavior.
Anything I don't do or that I do wrong, now that I am more able to focus, is still NOT okay, just because I have justification for it, now.
Sure I know WHY this that and another thing did or didn't happen now but it still has to be changed. If that makes sense. I am saying never lean on what is wrong with you.
