Discussion on labeling of people: homosexuals and ADHD?

Question

I know that homosexuality is something that you are born with and develop in adolescence. There is not supposed to be a pill/cure for it. It is something that you are supposed to embrace, it is pure love. I am lesbian and do NOT want to change it.

Forums say the same thing regarding attention deficit disorder, that it is a natural born trait and that we should not label it or cure it. There are "cures" for adhd, for which the most common are ritalin and adderall

They temporarily suppress your mind so that you "think right" but don't work forever, just when you take them. In that sense they are like glasses, once you go off glasses you see blurry again

The problem now lies that I am lesbian and strongly suspect having ADHD. I don't really know if I should just "live with it" or go to mental health clinic and get diagnois/meds

I mean, after all aren't the two things just "labeling of people", I mean homosexuality sure is. ADHD, I don't know about, all it does is distract me, make me impulsive and have me drop the same old class at a community college

the difference is that having ADHD makes your life difficult to function in


it makes it hard to study, to learn, to have normal social relationships, this is not because people discriminate against people with ADHD, but because the disorder in a sense retards a brain function that allows one to control impulses and focus on objectives

being gay is just a social rarity, the problems that come with being gay are simply due to people's discrimination against them

I particularly don't like labels, for any labelling process to work you'll want as many labels as there are folks, since every body is an character. Personally I sit someplace between gay and bi, so what does that make me? I believe that bisexual is typically the closest, however i am certainly not half method between being gay and being straight. I think most individuals who don't realise others will find a label to hold on them, in order that they can be relaxed with the unsuitable notion that they have got understood them, however genuinely they are no in the direction of knowing that man or woman. Although labels are a easy means of categorising people, they do go away lots to be desired seeing that of over generalisation.

The real question is how much is your life impacted by your condition which may be ADHD?  Is it significantly interfering with your daily life, causing you financial losses, impacting your relationships with others, damaging your coursework, etc?  If so, seeking treatment (which may include drugs, counseling and/or other therapies) may be a good idea.  If not, you may be OK just going on as you are for now.
