Inattentive - Diagnosed earlier this year at 44, & while I had wondered to myself off & on if I had it, it still took me a couple months to “believe” & accept. I was v good at masking & basically used the behavior/ symptoms to beat myself up. It was v internal for me. The relief is the compassion I’m now able to offer myself.
Predominantly inattentive
Combined. I was diagnosed when I was 6 by a child psychiatrist 
ADHD Combined, I was diagnosed at 8 treated with agitating for 5 years. Went off meds at 13. Struggled through life, thought I was fine though. Then at 42 I left my husband, my life had fallen apart after years of ADHD overwhelm with 2 young kids, a narcissistic husband and no family support. Thenc3 months later my father was murdered in my birth country. 18 months later I was rediagnosed with ADHD-C and a new diagnosis of Bipolar 2, which was triggered by trauma. ADHDers are susceptible to this when experiencing high stress or trauma. So please be aware. It took me 5 years to get my medication levels right! I've been good for 6 months.
