1/ 9 Adult ADHD
If you had ADHD as a child, you have a 30 to 50 percent chance that as an adult you haven’t gotten over it. And if neither you nor your parents had any idea that you had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diagnosis may be even more difficult today. After all, over the years you have developed your own compensation system, which makes it easier for you to live with yourself and less pissed off your relatives and colleagues with your behavior.
2/ 9 Interrupting someone else’s speech
Of course, each of us is so fed up with someone’s boring that we try to interrupt a boring argument. However, if you hear from another person: “Let me finish,” maybe you have a problem not only with savoir-vivre.
3/ 9 Messiness and bad organization of work
Papers and empty coffee cups are piling up on your desk. You do order and promise yourself that you will never allow such a mess again, but after a few days it is the same. When you have to carry out a project, you think you have a lot of time, but you will always wake up, scared, just before the deadline.
4/ 9 Stormy emotional relationships
You fall in love quickly, and your relationships are tumultuous like pairs of characters in Polański’s “Bitter Mating” or Almodovar’s films. And family life is reminiscent of Italian cinema. All it takes is a protest to get angry and shower your partner with sms full of resentment or despair.
5/ 9 Doing things your own way
You have an obvious problem with working in a team. You want to do everything your own way, you lack empathy, and you don’t understand why everyone doesn’t applaud your brilliant (of what else) ideas uncritically.
6/ 9 Bad memory
You forget not only where you put your keys, but also where you parked your car. Still looking for lost notes. It also happens that you forget about your promises and business dates and not only meetings.
7/ 9 Impatience and explosiveness
If you work from home, there is still something distracting from your task. You are taking another coffee break, surfing the internet, calling friends. Being stuck in traffic is too much for you. You then swear under your nose and fidget in the chair. You like to move first from the lights, you sometimes cause bumps and accidents. You are hyperactive and even when you are sitting (because you have to, for example, at a meeting), you restlessly move your fingers or feet.
8/ 9 Insomnia and mood swings
Usually you get carried away with energy, sometimes so much that, depending on the type of stimulus, it will trigger an outburst of euphoria, aggression, or crying, depending on the type of stimulus. Your mood easily goes from extremes to extremes, which is tiresome for the people around you. You happen to be sad or depressed. And often you can’t fall asleep at night because you have a constant “music video” in your head.
9/ 9 psychologist
Women with ADHD can feel totally exhausted and tired even after a long sleep, and they are more depressed – all because of the increasing disturbance of estrogen. Due to testosterone, men are much more explosive, aggressive, and more often they are perfectionists. If you have just started to suspect that the ADHD problem concerns you, it is best to visit a psychologist or psychiatrist with someone you love. As an adult with ADHD, you can be very objective. In order to make an accurate diagnosis, an interview with someone from your family or friends will be very useful. Because maybe it’s just an ordinary neurosis, or the lack of a kindergarten is taking revenge. Do not diagnose yourself with the help of Dr. Google, because then you can easily confuse ADHD symptoms with symptoms of borderline personality or bipolar personality disorder. And that will make you even more nervous.
