Maybe some type of med would improve your quality of life, and they are only available over the counter to folks with diagnosis+prescription. Having a diagnosis might give you a mental framework to to 'get to work' on improving the least fun things about it :) , like self help tips n tricks, or maybe working with a psychologist to see what might help you the most.

I will point out that, in the US at least, an official diagnosis isn't required to get those meds. It's just a lot easier to be prescribed them with it. I'm not officially diagnosed but I do see a psychiatrist who was willing to try them with no prompting from me.

Ultimately though they didn't work out because of the impact on my blood pressure, I'm on non-scheduled ADHD meds now that have made a huge difference.

What non-scheduled meds, if you don't mind me asking? I've tried a few supplements, but no luck yet.

Straterra is what I found worked for me. It still needs to be prescribed.
