Mind sharing what the diagnosis entailed for you to have such an impact? Medication, strategies, cognitive therapy? Relieve in the sense of "everything makes (more) sense now"?
Yeah all of the above pretty much. A huge sense of relief, like having an answer to a question that had been bugging me for ever.
We’re still working through medication, figuring out the best dosage etc, but it has been a big improvement to my focus. My screen time on my phone dropped 1.5hours / day as soon as I went on meds. So that’s a measurable improvement.
Strategies have been a little hit and miss so far, my psychiatrist recommended recording all of my conversations so that I can go back and relisten to them later, but it’s not something I’m comfortable doing. One thing that has been a huge help was doing Dave Crewnshaws time management for adhd course, just the simple things like maintaining a clean desk, keeping everything in its place has been super helpful.
