I was diagnosed as a child.   From 5 to 12 I took adderall/ritalin/etc for it, until I quit because as a child, my emotional overload and imagination, I personally loved.  I would get lost hours in my imagination.  Beautiful worlds of a child's mind

   I have been researching and seeing a direct correlation between unmedicated add/adhd

I been doing a study of my own and I be using some adderall like a week, and the week before that 2 cups of coffee in the morning 


And omg, the difference and how I feel things is night and day. 

I always thought add/adhd was hyperness and "can't sit still", like my grandma would say.   

I did not know that adhd itself, deals with rejection sensitivity, emotional disregulation, depression, anxiety.   

  Its been a month, and on stimulants I took, I see my moods are still there but wayyyy less pronounced. Im not getting carried away by my emotions anymore.  

   I feel so different since connecting the two for myself. For years I thought, its bpd, its bpd, and while it had turned into that...

 I realize now, the root of it, was my unmedicated adhd and that I am feminine presenting and acting, a trans woman.  

 Adhd looks different in women, and since I took estrogen, it changed how adhd felt for me, and thats why I thought I bpd.  

   So for all you reading, if you have trouble focusing at times, always day dreaming (which is a form of dissassociation, and adhd)

 Maybe get tested for adhd.  

 I never outgrew it like my child doctor told me. 
It was unmedicated in me and now alot of things make sense to me.  

 I been feeling so much better for real
