I’m not diagnosed, but my spouse is convinced I have ADHD. He doesn’t believe I have autism, but who knows. Based on some things I have read I do think I kinda display some symptoms from both but I would need to see a professional to have any of this confirmed. And as it stands I just can’t. My first attempt at getting a referral ended with being told by the GP that I couldn’t have ADHD because I have a degree, a job and a partner. Which I thought was very insulting to people with ADHD, but whatever. The second attempt ended with me getting a referral and the GP telling me to go find a psychiatrist myself because he believed I’d be very capable of that. Turns out I’m very much not, lol.

So eh. Now I’m just living my life like I always have. I do what I can to hold on to routines and structure and the only thing that has changed is that I beat myself up a bit less than I used to when I fuck things up.

Have you gotten an official diagnosis? And if so, how was the process for you? 🤗
