I suspect my parents both have undiagnosed adhd, our house was rarely clean growing up, its a foreign concept to me

I suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD, but my doctor didn't take it seriously when I brought it up. Prescribed me some meds, but they were priced way outside what I could afford. Best I can do in my house is mildly controlled chaos.

Adhd is such a struggle because it has huge impacts in every area of ones life yet its almost never taken seriously. I had a few teachers growing up suggest I get tested but my mom was weirdly against it for whatever reason. I didn’t get diagnosed until last year at 20 years old, medication is going okay, its not perfect but at the very least it has almost cured my crippling anxiety that resulted from 20 years of trying to be normal and failing :)

I'm glad it's helping! My doc said I could get tested, but it'd cost about $1000 and so I'm resigned to just dealing with it for now.
