    I have been trying for over 20 years to find something that works.
    I have tried every suggestion that anyone has given me. I have tried every (relevant) medication that I could get approved for. I have asked for help from every professional I could think of.
    Nothing has worked.

    Your comment really hurts.

      Hi there. I wanted to apologize for that. I understand that my words might’ve been uneasy to handle for someone who does everything to manage the condition.

      When writing the original comment, I was thinking more about people who do nothing after the diagnosis. Fuck it, I’ve been there, but not with the ADHD. I was petrified by it and was using it as an excuse for a long time. I’ve lost 5 years of my life doing that, until I’ve found that I can manage it with otc medication. I let this anger slip into the original comment and I’m deeply sorry

        Thank you. I really appreciate the effort put into this apology.

        It’s too easy to accidentally hurt someone on the internet, and there is always the temptation to hide instead of making thing right when it does happen.

        Thanks.
