Doing pretty good now, just finally got it confirmed that I have ADHD which is a big relief to know since it means I can be put on medication in the next month or so.

Great news! Heard it can take ages to get a diagnosis, must be a weight off your mind

Yep, it took going for a private place for diagnosis since the waiting list for the NHS for mental health anything is so long so it is a big relief. It'll be even bigger once I'm on meds and can actually function too.

I found out I have ADHD after I graduated college. And I brought it up to a psychiatrist a long time ago, back in high school. It was relieving and a little annoying at the same time haha

Yeah I wish I got diagnosed when I was a kid, I even had multiple referrals to child mental health services that were all denied due to 'lack of need', with the end result being my childhood ruined and me with severe social anxiety and severe depression.
