hi everyone. i was recently diagnosed with combined type ADHD and i find myself struggling to be gentle with myself after the diagnosis. i’ve gone years being able to do well in school, i haven’t worked much unfortunately but now i feel everything is falling apart. on top of it, i have been trying to learn all i can about, and finding what works for me. i am unsure if i want to try medication yet, and also dealing with executive dysfunction, trying to complete important tasks, and many other things. anyone have any tips, or what did you do after diagnosis that helped you? thank you!
