Talk to your doctor and/or psychiatrist and they can’t test and diagnose. Even being diagnosed, I still often feel like I’m just making excuses when something stems from my ADHD, but it’s important to remember that it’s not fair to yourself to downplay your own challenges. Acknowledging the challenges you face, and their affects on your life is not making excuses. It’s being honest with yourself about what you experience.

What happens after a diagnosis though?
Hopefully treatment :) That can include therapy sessions, and also trying out different medications and if they help
