Day 2 on ADHD meds and I can’t believe I’ve been barebacking it through life for 25 years. It’s 3pm and I’ve almost done all my work for the day!!
Big ups to both @ChantayyJayy and @AdultingADHD whose content and discussions helped me fight for my official diagnosis
Will respond to DMs ASAP but tips:
Follow content creators who discuss ADHD. This will help you structure yourself in the interim + give you reassurance if the doctor passes you over.
Write down any behaviours that match up with any symptoms. This will make your evidence.
Also trust your gut! My Dr was very dismissive at first + thought I may be suffering from emotional blunting. I only got put on meds after they switching my antidepressants + made me do the Copeland quiz (depts.washington.edu/dbpeds/Screeni…).
It’s a v long process so keep the faith ✨
Muting the thread for now but will respond to DMs asap (there are a lot so it may take a while 👀)
