Keep it up with these posts, if I share enough of them with my clearly very painfully obviously super adhd girlfriend I might eventually convince her to go see a therapist and seek a diagnosis someday

I hope she does. I don't think I'm ADHD but my partner was just diagnosed a few months ago. Now that we think about it it's not a surprise at all lol

It feels really nice to have more understanding and more context for both of us.

I think it will help too. She resists by saying "well what will it really change?" but it can and will change quite a lot if she understands how her brain works and can build some support structures to help with it. She really doesn't want to be medicated either which I totally get.

Totally agree, and get that. I wouldn't want medication necessarily either. You don't have to medicate at all! In fact maybe just knowing and working with it would be a good first test.
