I guess the regret comes from not knowing sooner. I was around 30 when I was finally diagnosed. When I think how this diagnose could have helped me 25 years earlier to get the right knowledge and support to manage life it really makes me resentful.

Very similar story here but I'm not resentful of the late diagnosis.

Getting through most of my 20s without meds gave me more confidence in my own abilities.

If I had them earlier? Maybe my life would have been easier but maybe not.

Even today there are times when a bit of ADHD helps me make better decisions by just letting my mind wonder.

I think that using stimulants to control the ADHD like an on/off switch is the best of both worlds.

I got diagnosed junior year of college, knowing sooner would’ve been very helpful.

Probably would’ve been more social in high school if I took meds because it probably would’ve been easier for me to complete homework, and I would have had more free time.
