Put it over in another ADHD community , and I'll put it here:
"People with handicaps and disabilities typically have shorter lifespans due to the lack of assistance and resources needed for their specific ailment. "
This is it, folks. ☝️

Yay, yet another reason to not get diagnosed.
Ah I see you're learning from the latest installment of the United States government.
But ADHD is a super power!
Yeah fuck that.
Yeah. Living with ADD / ADHD and the associated symptoms is extremely fucking stressful. Especially if you don't know or are undiagnosed. I lived with my symptoms well into my 30s so I'm sure I've shaved a few years off my life.
Oh, thank goodness.
Lmfao Y'all wanna see my shorter life list: Depression -18 Asthma -7 Trichotillomania - bad ADHD -6.8 years Post Infidelity Stress Disorder - lmfao
Y'all I should be dead
Maybe there is some synergy here, so far you’re immortal
You underflow and get a life expentency of MAX_INT years!
I mean, yeah true. Second worst immortality ever (having read Mickey7).
Holy fuck I had no idea PISD was a thing. Welp there's another few years off my life.
Constant flashbacks to the discovery of it? Nightmares? Vulnerability issues? Trust issues you never had before? Inability to watch porn because it reminds you of the pleasure you had violently ripped from your memory?
When I was still trying to make it work (fucking dumb in hindsight) pretty much all of the above. After the fact I had severe issues building new relationships, took trauma out on a few girls that absolutely didn't deserve it. Took me years to build trust with the woman I'm now married to. Definitely suffered flashbacks and nightmares for years.
Yeah I'm just going to be alone until the divorce finalizes and I get used to the whole handing the kid off. 5 fucking years of therapy and counseling and shit and I still wake up sweating and yelling at my ex in my separate place.
Sorry to hear it. Hope things continue to improve for you. Rest easy.
