After years of suspecting ADHD (and two decades of struggling), I decided that maybe I have ADHD. While I wait for an answer from the psychologists, I decided to take an online ADHD self-diagnosis questionnaire out of curiosity.

I found myself mousing over and highlighting the text in one of the questions over and over, thinking about something my girlfriend told me the other day, struggling to actually read the question. When I finally read the question, it was:

How often are you easily distracted by external stimuli, like something in your environment or unrelated thoughts?

Safe to say I started laughing out loud. Starting to feel pretty certain that I’m one of you :P

(I am still mid questionnaire)

    I admire your ability to write up a lemmy post in the middle of taking an adhd survey.

      The main question is did they finish it or started a new one.

        Strong possibility now that the quiz simply sits half finished in another tab for a month or two.

        That tab is lost forever. It’s best to open up a new one.

          Can’t lose tabs if you just close them all the time. That’s how I solved that habit. 🧐😂😂

            Nope, can’t close, there was something I was going to finish on one of those tabs, I just know it, the only way is to leave them all open, never return to them and then forget why I had them open if I do return
