    I didn’t get (informed about) my diagnosis until I was an adult and figured it out myself.

    The medication is life changing, and while I still enjoy nicotine (vaped now tho) and caffine (matcha now instead of coffee), I am no longer dependent on them.

    The THC hasn’t gone anywhere, but that serves additional purposes.

    I guess that’s all to say, it’s not too late to get a diagnosis, and if you feel like your ADHD is negatively impacting your life, you might want to consider doing so. It’s literally the most effectively treatable mental issue there is, they figured it out.

    Edit: I also find that occasional psilocybin trips (at somewhat regular intervals) are helpful to declutter my mind and improve my mood. I call it “defragmenting my disk”, because I’m old like that… also 1337
