Recently Diagnosed A Week Before 30
Hi all - I turned 30 last week, and the week before I finally went to a psychiatrist to sort out what the hell has been going on inside my brain. I had been seriously struggling for quite some time, just didn’t know what was happening or why I was slipping up on easy shit at work, failing to pull my weight in my relationship, not brushing my teeth/other routine maintenance stuff, and having trouble maintaining friendships.
Diagnosed Inattentive type ADHD and Depression. While it’s definitely shed a lot of light and provided a lot of clarity for me, I’m wondering if anyone has had any success in harnessing hyper fixations? Like when I find a song I’m in to, I will listen to it on repeat for hours and hours on end (I.e. Amos Moses by Jerry Reed, Eminence Front by the Who, Scatman by Scatman John lol). Just wish I knew of a way to harness this intense interest haha. New here, and already thankful for this group.
Peace and love, always.
