I'm 29, and I'm humming and hawing about whether I should try to get diagnosed, especially since the process is so long, and seemingly pretty stressful. I feel like it would do a lot to explain my difficulties in life, but I'm struggling to accept the idea that it could actually be because I have ADHD, rather than just because I'm incompetent and unmotivated.

Consider: has thinking that you are incompetent and unmotivated helped you do anything other than have bad self esteem? If that belief is both judgemental and unhelpful, then it's not serving you.
