I’m a former gifted child, and I can honestly say I somewhat redeemed myself. Wasted my 20s with undiagnosed ADHD and bipolar, spent my 30s getting diagnosed and medicated, and changing my hated career by going to grad school, and now in my 40s I own a business in an industry I truly enjoy. Most importantly, I’m happy.
Moral of the story: sometimes things get better with age, and it’s never too late to start.

Love this! It’s honestly inspirational (source: am also late diagnosed neurodiverse and MH)
Ah let me guess, they medicated you with Adderall or Vyvanse and that’s what catapulted you into a functional businessowner.
100%. The bipolar meds help too though.
