[KNK AIRLINE ✈] - FLIGHT SCHEDULE

RIGHT??????

A while ago you said that you didn’t want to start an OF, because that would make posting pics ‘’mandatory’’ and then you wouldn’t want to do it, because of your ADHD. I really resonated with that because I KNOW that this is how my mind would work as well, but I hadn’t connected it with ADHD. I’ve always had huuuge issues with procrastination, but I didn’t think I have ADHD because I can actually stay extremely focused on things for a long amount of time, I just really struggle when I feel it's mandatory. I always NEED to have options. So I think I should be checked for ADHD, although I’m kinda dreading it 😕

What was your experience?

Oo interesting! Yeah, like idk if that’s like, an official symptom or whatever but it def seems to be a common theme. And is for sure a huge thing for me personally. Buttttt at the same time, as with a lot of ADHD symptoms, “normal” people can experience them too without it necessarily being pathological yknow? Like obv everyone procrastinates from time to time, but I think it really just depends on how much you feel it affects your life. And I get why the focus thing might seem to indicate that you don’t have it, bc obv getting easily distracted is a huge part of the widely recognised experience, butttttttt also - hyperfixations are a big thing too! If it’s something that’s giving you that good good dopamine then it’s v possible for someone w adhd to get sucked into it for a long time and not even realise. AND also the adhd experience is not a one size fits all anyway. It really does affect everyone differently, so idk. I wouldn’t necessarily rule it out bc of that! I’m obviously not an expert, but if you feel like you’ve been suffering and struggling to function in daily life forever and can’t understand why you’re potentially chronically & inexplicably underachieving, then I’d say it’s probably a good idea to get checked, but if you’re kinda cruising, then 🤷🏻‍♀️ kindof up to you I guess. What’s making you hesitate/dread it? The potential hassle/cost? Or just the thought of having an officially diagnosed disorder? Or..?

I’m not sure where in the world you are, but I can only speak from my experience getting diagnosed in the UK. And also even within that there are wiiiiiild variations on timings etc depending on where in the country you are and what the funding is like for mental health/adhd stuff in your specific trust. So it’s hard to say, but for me personally it was a big fucking pain in the ass tbh. I was on my GP waiting list for a while and didn’t hear anything so emailed to find out how long I could expect it to take, and I was told 2 years. Which was already like 😵‍💫 bc by that point I’d already pretty much known that I had it for at least a year anyway. But I was having CBT for something else at the time, and I was talking to my therapist about how shitty it was that I have this thingggggg that’s ruining my life that I can’t fix, so she asked in the department in the hospital roughly where abouts on the list I might be and how long it was realistically gona take, and she came back and said it was actually more like 5 years to even get an appointment. FIVE YEARS. Sooooo I just went private, which was obv a lot of 💰 but honestly no ragrets bc my life is SOOO much better now that WE KNOW and I’m on medication etc. Literally life changing, in soo many ways. Soooo yeah, again, depending on where you live you may have a much easier experience (one friend of mine who lives in a different part of the country got seen in maybe a year-18 months, after alot of hassling them on the phone, and someone that they know who ALSO lives somewhere different got seen in less than 6 months I think! So it’s really wildly variable and you might just get lucky!), in which case it probably could be worth just getting it checked out? But if you’re kinda chilling with it and it’s just more of a vague curiosity thing and you do live somewhere where it’s a hassle/expensive then it’s really only your call to decide if it’s worth it for you to explore 🤷🏻‍♀️ but if it does affect you alot, please try not to get discouraged, bc even if it turns out to be a lengthy/arduous process, getting it sorted is def worth it!!
