The amount of cringe when reading this is beyond infinite. Like what is this cult-like preach and behavior 😂

And how much more privileged this person can be?? ”That’s why we keep coming back”. Like does she realize most people can’t afford going even once. She seems so ignorant, not relatable at all.

Also, I miss the reddit snark, it’s wrong we got banned, reddit is full of similar pages about other influencers. Is there any hope getting it back? Very ironic that this new platform is called lemmy…

    Many people (mostly women) are being diagnosed later in life in recent times for a number of very valid reasons. We now know so much more about ADHD than we did 20 years ago, more GPs have a better understanding of signs and symptoms which evidently will lead to more people getting tested and leading to more positive results.

    I’m sure some people want to join the ‘trend’ for some fucked up reason. But some people, such as myself, are crumbling as new mothers because a diagnosis was missed earlier in life. Just wanted to point out that seeking out a diagnosis for whatever reason is absolutely valid and encouraged if you are finding your day to day life is being affected. 🫶

      Of course! Sorry I did not mean disrespect. I too am a crumbling new mother so I apologize if that came off crass. I’ve been dealing with insane anxiety since before became a mother and I just felt like my diagnosis was almost pushed on me as a quick solution after trying everything else as I don’t exhibit many symptoms except anxiety and high energy. It also seemed fishy to me that everyone was getting a diagnosis of it left and right. Including my 70 year old dad and 3/5 of my coworkers. I don’t doubt the science and new information available at all but I do believe she will take advantage and give herself a new diagnosis. But I’m sorry again if i offended! I am a bit salty after a year on Vyvanse ($$$$) to feel the same if not worse now 😅

        Omg sorry. I just reread. I’m so sorry that Vyvanse is not helping you!! It’s so pricey going and getting your medication changed too and the risk of not reacting well to the meds is not fun either 😫

        Not at all! Just thought in case anyone was on the fence about it or completely unaware why they seem to always be struggling not to be turned off by considering a diagnosis or even simply just wondering if they could be ND. I also do understand how you feel and there are definitely some people (influencers) doing it for attention and not because they are actually crumbling. I’m sorry you are crumbling too! I wish there was a way to make it all easier. Congrats on getting your medication sorted albeit pricey. I hope it is helping you feel somewhat better 🤞
