So I'm 99% sure I have ADHD and I can't stop thinking about it. I've been doing online "university" tests and they're all coming back positive. I need to get tested now "for real" and I'm just waiting for a break in my schedule to accommodate that.

It explains SO MUCH about my life! That must be why: - I juggle so many projects and jobs. - I can't sleep because I can't turn off my brain! - I say "yes" to every project that's offered! - I have trouble focusing in meetings. - I get angry at myself for all of the above.

It has to be why: - I feel so much passion about so many things. - I come up with creative solutions and new ideas easily. - I can learn things SUPER quickly when I'm interested in them. - I can keep calm and remain task oriented even in the most stressful/difficult situations.

I once worked a gamedev job, while having a second job teaching, while creating a game design program for the same college, while co-running a games festival, while working on my own indie game, and all this while spending time with my family. ADHD has to be the why and the how.

I'm actually excited to find out if I have ADHD, but at this point I would be SHOCKED if I don't. I've already looked up some coping mechanics and hopefully this'll help me be much less impulsive and a lot more focused. Wish me luck friends!

Can you potentially share those resources on coping mechanisms pls? <3 I need this so much I think

Oh definitely! I'm going to continue compiling them and then maybe put them together in a google doc!

@annabrandberg has a great google doc with resources as well.
