I’ve been diagnosed a couple of months ago and here my main takeaways:
1) My self confidence improved: I know I don’t “mess up” because I’m lazy, stupid or don’t care - it’s just how my brain works
2) I can drastically reduce the amount of “messing up” by taking medication
3) Now I can get things done with half the mental strain and drastically less “mess-ups”
TL:DR - Therapy is also essential, especially if you have built an adult life & persona to counteract the ADHD symptoms. What is “you” and what has been a coping mechanism? It’s fascinating indeed.
