I’ll DM you more when I have a few minutes, but my increasing tiredness was the result of a lifetime of masking colliding with the demands of parenting, and this is apparently a common inflection point for adult diagnosis. The cognitive load of masking all day every day gets to be too much.spike wrote: Sun August 30, 2026 7:34 amTell us more.

I've been taking Adderall for a couple weeks now and it is one hell of a supplement.
FWIW I failed the initial short-question screening, but my psychiatrist said that’s super common for people who’ve been masking their whole lives.
If you’re eager to think more on it, I’d just dump this whole exchange into Claude and say “I think I might be undiagnosed, read this message board post and then iterate with me.”
