Great chat Ladies. Tks. I had a full Hysterectomy, age 45.My Life changed sooo much. I thought I was going insane. Memory. Anxiety. Depression. Worse was Disaccotation from Reality. I lost years from Dr. To Dr. Cost me a fortune. To be told, it was all down to menapause. I couldn't accept it. I refused to live like that. I existed, but wasn't living my life. Age 60.I was finally diagnosed, ADHD. I owe my life, to that Dr, for sending me in the right direction. To be diagnosed. I am on Ritilan 'since. I have got my life back. Well much better than before. Tgod. But if only I had been diagnosed, from the early stage. I have lost a big chunk of my life. 😢But better late than never. Love to you all from 🇮🇪💚

It just seems remarkable to me...having only been diagnosed a year ago at 49 yrs..... how any ADHD'ers I meet or watch now that I know I am ADHD, seem like my tribe!! We are all unique individuals of course, but the ADHD commonalities seem to shape our personalities in a similar way. I find it slightly remarkable. Thank you Ladies 😊💜
