My whole life I struggled with school, not being able to pay attention to lectures, homework, or sitting still in class. I always knew my brain worked differently than others and struggled to try and keep up with my peers taking AP and Honors classes. I continously asked my mom if I had ADHD or if I could get tested, but she always said no and that by keeping a routine would help me. It wasn't until college that I took the initative to get myself tested. After multiple appointments and hours of testing, I was told that "I did not have ADHD and my anxiety was so high it presented as ADHD". Yet, while I was in eating disorder treatment my therapist and psychologist both agreed to let me try ADHD medication and I have been able to ace my classes, complete daily tasks within a reasonable time, and feel like I can accomplish the things I set my mind to.
