Hiya, my gf and family members tell me I have ADHD but I've never seen a doctor to diagnose me. 

My gf works in the hospital and deals with patients with familiar symptoms like hyperactive , trouble staying still sometimes but mostly when I'm standing, constantly pacing up and down because I'm trying to think and focus, there are a few more things that I cant think of right now because its 4am and I struggle to sleep sometimes but I'm happy to answer any questions you have and help in anyway I can just send me a DM. 

I've been diagnosed with ADHD ever since I was a child but, I still have it now. I felt like it ruined most of my life, before it started. As an adult with it I'm more concerned about hiding the symptoms as the consequences will be more serious. I know people who think I'm brilliant, intelligent and would like to hang out with me more but, I kept them at a distance out of fear.

from a very early age I had a passion and A big interest in creating stories or random characters. For almost everything I would create a story or a character for it. Some of those OCS I still use today. I remember all the students had a dislike for writing but I always stayed longer to write stories. My biggest issue has been not being able to speak English properly and having a lot of issues with it. Having something like ADHD and difficulty speaking English made it hard for me to understand all these things. I didn’t know it was ADHD but I also thought it was a hobby. I never understood it until years later. It comes with its benefits.
