For adhd you will be diagnosed as either hyperactive, primary inattentive, or combined. The primary inattentive I believe is the type most often diagnosed in women if I remember correctly, it is what I was diagnosed with, though I am male. It is less noticeably disruptive to others and less likely to be diagnosed than hyperactive, though it is a spectrum. To that point, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 35. You may not be bouncing off the walls and seem normal, but your thoughts are bouncing around in your head. It is hard to work if you can’t focus on the task at hand, it is hard to talk to people if you can’t focus on the conversation. Alternatively, that does go great if you hyper focus on the thing you are doing, but that’s the problem with it, you don’t choose to hyperfocus, it happens.
I have found medication exceedingly helpful in managing my symptoms, currently on 60mg of lisdexfetamine(sp?). It’s not perfect, but it is great. I wasn’t sure it was working initially, but after missing several doses close together it was apparent it had been working but became my new normal, because without it I slipped into that overstimulated thought chaos much more easily. Different medications work for different people and not for others. Some swear by some of the non stimulants, but they didn’t work for me, and one gave me mild ED while I was on it
I’m now amused at myself because my first comment was a flippant one liner and now this response is a run on word vomit
