No your story sounds legit. You actually got diagnosed by someone before TikTok university started pumping out therapists. Your approach of seeing it as the strength that it is is great! If people really think they have it then, use it. I just get really fucking annoyed with people who claim ADHD or OCD but exhibit normal human behavior and treat it like it’s something unique or profound.
Like, I was diagnosed depressed and considered suicide multiple times. I was riddled with anxiety. But then I started learning about the power of diet, lifestyle choices, and what neuro-inflammation is. I gradually made some changes and “cured” my depression and anxiety. Was I even sick to begin with or just malnourished?
There’s always a choice with how we handle these labels. I think you handle it brilliantly. But when people start saying, “Oh, I can’t do ____ because of my self diagnosed ADHD” I just wanna slap them.
