Checklist: ADHD in Adults; Signs You Might Have Missed
You forget appointments but remember vivid childhood moments
You feel mentally busy 24/7 even when you’re doing nothing
You have half-finished tasks everywhere
You interrupt, not to be rude, but because the thought might disappear
Time slips away; hours or minutes, all the same
You overcommit… then burn out
You feel guilty for resting, even when you’re exhausted
You scroll instead of sleeping, then beat yourself up for it
You’re told you’re “smart but disorganised” or “capable but inconsistent”
You feel like you’re constantly failing at things that seem “easy” for everyone else
If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken and you’re not alone.
This is what ADHD can look like, especially when it’s been missed for years.
Late diagnosis is common. So is self-blame. But there’s nothing wrong with your brain, you just deserve to understand it.
