Thanks, Rach. I finally got around to getting diagnosed at age 66! I have had several very successful careers as a paramedic, professor, physiologist (equine reproductive) and most recently pastor. All of my life I lived with the things you are describing. The term “imposter syndrome” is new to me, but it sure fits how I saw myself all of my life! No one close to me could understand what I was talking about….”you’re an awesome teacher” I would hear and still think I would be “found out”…..WOW, thanks for writing this as this now almost 69 year old Lutheran pastor keeps on keeping on! God bless you!

This post! So true. I feel like I entered adulthood with ADHD. I don't have the courage to go get diagnosed- big time imposter syndrome there too. The fear of 'what if its not ADHD and I'm actually just disorganised, lazy and procrastinate with no good cause.'
