If you’ve self diagnosed yourself with ADHD from watching reels from TikTok, Twitter or Instagram. You probably never had it to begin with. Let’s be honest here…..

Not trying to gatekeep, but it often seems influencers in that space try to make adhd something with broad appeal that anyone could have (like yeah sometimes we all lack energy or have issues focusing, but adhd is more intense and persistent than that), because that increases the potential market for their content. Doesn't mean that you don't legitimately have ADHD, or that you can't lead yourself on a path to self discovery that starts with one of those videos, but as someone diagnosed with the "triple crown" of adhd, aspergers, and dyslexia - but who's just trying to live a normal life and refuse accommodations, I'd seriously recommend that you chill the f*** out and talk to your doc before you up-end your entire psyche based on IG reels.

Dude, I drank some tea, remembered a Twitter thread where everyone kept saying caffeine calms you down if you have ADHD, side eyed my cup, wrote this post, and went back to watching TV a minute later and forgot about it.
Even if I had ADHD, I don't care enough to get diagnosed because it hasn't disrupted my life
If it makes you feel any better, Elon Musk is burning Twitter to the ground. So it probably won't last another 2 years.
