hey yall, I'm 38 and have recently come to the realization that I have ADD/ADHD (are they the same thing?), have had it since I was a child. There is a comedian i saw and he had this joke "I had AdHD as a kid, everyone told me I had it, my teachers the doctors, everyone. But my mom said I didn't have ADHD, so I don't have ADHD." That's what brought me to the realization, this same thing happened to me. Everyone said I had it. Mom said no lol. I've realized my whole life I have been trying to compensate for it, both successfully and (mostly) unsuccessfully. Last night I had horrible sleep (again), its become a more and more regular thing for me to lose sleep since I hit the age of 30. I guess, I'm just trying to work up the nerve to go and talk to someone, get tested, or even medicated. Is there a resource yall tend to use to find more info?

thanks for reading if you did
