And when I was in that city...

I was talking to a friend who was also back in his house visiting his parents, not for the same reasons I was, but he was also in between.

He was like in between jobs.

And I was talking to him about what had happened because I needed some help.

His dad happened to be, his dad is a psychiatrist.

And so that was just lucky that it happened to be at his house telling him everything that was going on.

His dad was overhearing us and literally just asked me straight up,

Have you ever been diagnosed with ADHD?

And I was just like, what?

In my experience, that was something that kids had.

In my experience, cause I used to, I had a job where I was working with kids and there was the teachers that were like, this one needs this medication.

This one needs that medication.

I'm like, okay.

But he asked me about that by myself and I was like, what?

And, but it wasn't so off when I heard him say it.

So I went with him to his clinic and he had a woman diagnose me, but she misdiagnosed me with depression.

because my symptoms were for sure.

When I did the self-assessment, my life was really rock bottom at that point.

And I for sure presented as depressed.

She diagnosed me with depression, put me on antidepressants.
