tired of my social anxiety being invalidated
get my ADHD meds from my regular Doctor who is just a family practitioner who specializes in woman’s health. I went in for depression and after trying different meds one of which gave me bad anxiety, but I mentioned it helped me concentrate. One of the uses for them was for ADHD, so he prescribed me adderall on a hunch. I was very skeptical at first because I didn’t think I had it, but it helped with my depression and anxiety. The more research I did about it made me realize I do have it, so many things made sense and clicked into place for me. There are a few different types I have the inattentive type which doesn’t have the hyperactive part. Anyway, I hope any of this is helpful to you.gonna ask my GP for a psychiatrist referral soon because I think I have ADHD and don't really know how to approach it. I feel like a lot of my mental health experiences over my life have been explained away from me just being a fidgety & anxious kid, but there's so much more to it. idk just hoping I don't get dismissed again. I'm gonna try to be firm about it, but I am nervous. I've realized I can do a school assignment last second and pull an all nighter, but the same doesn't really apply for work-work.
I think it's just the whole process that's really overwhelming me. It seems like a lot. I feel like I'm just being a lot.
edit tldr; mental health is a nightmare in the u.s.
It really does!! I’ve seen a lot of people with the inattentive leaning adhd seem to have the same experiences with getting medication for anxiety/depression first. It makes me feel more confident in asking about it for sure.I
