You get on meds - full stop. Started last week and they have been life changing even at a lower dose.
If you work in IB you should have decent enough insurance to pay for a formal diagnosis and just use GoodRx for the meds. Don’t bother to wait for insurance for pay the ~$30 for generic adderall.
how did meds help you?

Surprised you were able to break in with ADHD haha. Ive been medicated since middle school and i cant live without it
I think what you're trying to say is you're surprised he broke in with ADHD while not on medication.
ADD (was diagnosed before the H) and OCD Just find a thing you love
ADHD and OCD here. Create as many organization systems as you can and then follow them like a religion. Calendar everything, read every slide towards for understanding, backwards for grammar/spelling, and then forwards again for both. Do the zero inbox rule (zero emails left in inbox by end of day [if possible ofc]). Also get medicated and if you have time some therapy focused on ADHD
If you can pay attention to all these details and stay disciplined to execute them, do you even have ADHD?
