Now that you mention family relations, I think about my mom and my dad. My mom presents some of the stereotypical ADHD traits very very strongly, and my father doesn't at all. And I've never noticed my dad stuck in this cycle, but I think I've seen my mom. I will show this figure to my parents and ask both of them if they relate at all. Although I need to translate this into spanish, or find a spanish version...

This is really interesting. One of my family members has ADHD and I was about to say "huh I have this cycle and I don't have ADHD." I guess it's possible I have it but never got it diagnosed because it's mild enough that I'm functioning without medication/support, but at the same time I wonder if this is actually truly unique to ADHD or a behavior that's just commonly classified with it.

It's hereditary. ;) Get checked.
