An ADHD diagnosis later in life can feel like shock, regret, and relief all at once.

It explains years of struggle and gives you a chance to start fresh.

Here’s how to turned regret into reset. ADHD makes life harder when it's not treated.

- Masking
- Perfectionism
- self-blame

Diagnosis ends the guessing game.

Now you can work with your brain, not against it.

Most people think ADHD is a problem with focus.

But in reality, ADHD almost never comes alone.
It comes with anxiety, mood swings, learning difficulties, and low self esteem.

It's called Complex ADHD, and if you have ADHD, it might help to understand it. 🧵 Over 60% of people with ADHD have at least one other condition.

Anxiety, depression, ODD, learning disabilities, even substance abuse, these aren't separate issues.
They're part of the problem.

If you’ve felt like ADHD medication “isn’t enough,” this is why.

Most ADHD advice is about planners, meds, or habits.
Almost no one talks about food.

But what and when you eat can make a huge difference in your focus, mood, and energy.

Here’s how to eat for an ADHD brain. Start with the basics:

- Don’t skip more than one meal
- Eat protein in the morning
- Eat more complex carbs
- Avoid simple sugars (soda, candy)
- Eat more fiber, especially with ADHD meds

A bad diet means less energy and less focus.

Your phone isn't just a distraction.

For people with ADHD, it can reshape our lives over time.

Here’s how it happens, and what to look out for: It's not obvious at first, but it snowballs quickly.

- You miss a few deadlines.
- Then a project.
- Then a job.

- You cancel plans.
- Forget a birthday.
- Eventually people stop reaching out.

It happens faster than you think.

How to build habits when you have ADHD.

Motivation is unreliable.

ADHD makes everything harder.

We need systems, not willpower.

Here’s how to create habits and routines.

🧵 We can't rely on motivation.

Habits reduce stress, decision fatigue, anxiety and mental load.

They keep you moving even when our brain does not want to.
