A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm only 27, but may have undiagnosed ADD. My schooling, career and health continue to be harmed by stuff I just can't seem to get control over. Always been this way. I expect to die of heart disease while reaching for 30s.
I gotta ask, if you’re so sure, why don’t you seek treatment? Take a couple online tests to try to get a measure of it and go from there. I know it’s hard to force yourself out of a rut with ADHD, but screw leaving it untreated.
Bold of you to assume I haven't. I'm on a waiting list for diagnosis right now. Ironically the same institution who fucked up my diagnosis in 2004. But they were the only place that had a 30 day, instead of a 30 weeks waiting list.
Why would I assume you’ve sought treatment when you stated you were undiagnosed? Nothing bold about that at all based on the provided information.
