Should I try to get diagnosed?

yes yes yes!! I got perfect grades in high school and then everything collapsed once I got to college. I was the first one diagnosed with ADD in my family, although I’m sure at least half of my cousins have it. If you feel you’re coping right now, that’s fantastic, but you might as well do everything possible to keep things that way! Also, look into medication with an open mind - some people really can’t tolerate it, but for others it’s a miracle. I got my parents to give me my medicine until it was working, but now that I’m on medicine, I DO remember to take the pills by myself! and that is pretty exciting when you’ve spent your life forgetting everything!
