Is it generally considered a bad idea to share with others that you have been diagnosed with ADHD? How have others handled sharing diagnosis information with friends, family, work, etc?
Thank you. I’m still very new to all this. I was on the fence about whether or not telling others would lead to negative outcomes. People in my close circles have known that I had been struggling at work and that I was trying to improve my overall physical/mental health. I’ve cut out alcohol, started exercising more, and have been monitoring my health via apps and gadgets to track sleep and other metrics. I’m doing much better now. I’m more focused at work and my symptoms are becoming easier to manage. I agree with you and others in this thread that there isn’t really a need to discuss my diagnosis with anyone. I appreciate the advice!
