Annecdotally? The condition. It was actually the opposite of what you described. Getting diagnosed in early adulthood was actually a huge weight off my shoulders, because I suddenly understood why I was struggling and had a path forward for seeking treatment. Prior to that, I was just drowning and overwhelmed, and I didn't know why. It felt like nothing I did helped and I wasn't making any progress towards my goals. I felt like I was barely a functional adult. It felt terrible.
