Do I still struggle? Yes, a lot.
For me, I keep getting stuck down rabbit holes despite what systems I put in place to avoid it. It is a constant whack-a-mole.
My theory is that people with ADHD are just more creative. Their brains are designed to explore and push boundaries.
But the invention of internet, smart phones, social media, online video is simply too much for a brain of this calibre. Our brains evolved in the natural world, and we live in an extremely unnatural world now.
But one thing I found about the ADHD community is that they feel like meds are the only answer, to the point they get angry when people criticise them.
> Wow
So I genuinely am interested in what is "enough".
It's incredibly difficult to get anyone to tell you what they tried and to confront any alternative hypotheses. They take it as an affront.
Good luck on all your future endeavors.
Funny thing is that when I got my ADHD diagnosis, it was, for adults, very "fresh" conceptually. Which means everything got reviewed, retested, rechecked multiple times. Two professors and several doctors were involved. I'm pretty sure even medical professionals would find it hard to poke holes in either my diagnosis or treatment plan. I even got to be a "demo patient" for medical students multiple times, for them to learn.
But, they read a bunch of papers (without training in the field), so clearly they know better, eh?
