🧠 I Think I Have ADHD — What Should I Do Next?
You’re forgetful. Distracted. Chronically overwhelmed.
You’ve joked about having ADHD — or maybe you’ve quietly wondered if something deeper is going on. Now, for the first time, you’re ready to take it seriously.
So… what happens next?
Here’s a soft, clear guide to help you explore ADHD — without pressure, shame, or information overload.
🔍 1. Start With Self-Awareness
Before jumping to diagnosis, it’s helpful to reflect on how your brain works.
Ask yourself:
Do I struggle with focus — or motivation?
Is time always running away from me?
Am I deeply sensitive, reactive, or prone to overthinking?
Do I experience executive function crashes (forgetting, freezing, avoiding)?
Have these patterns been present since childhood?
These aren’t just quirks. They may be neurodivergent traits — especially if they impact your daily life, work, or relationships.
✅ 2. Take a Self-Guided ADHD Screener
If you're curious whether ADHD might apply to you, a screening tool can help you take the first step — no pressure, no commitments.
We recommend the DIVA-5 screener, a well-respected tool used in many clinical settings.

Try the DIVA Screener
It takes about 10–15 minutes and is completely private.
You’ll answer questions about inattention, hyperactivity, and daily function — past and present. The results may give you clarity and confidence to explore further.
🧘♀️ 3. Understand That You’re Not Broken
ADHD is not a character flaw. It’s a neurological difference — and a deeply valid one.
If you’re realising that your struggles have a name, it’s normal to feel:
Relief
Grief
Anger
Hope
All of the above
Give yourself permission to feel. And breathe. You’re allowed to explore this at your own pace.
