ADHD memes was how I realised I probably have ADHD and am probably bipolar.
Just on waiting lists to get a proper psych analysis and hopefully some meds.
My biggest fear is they go “nah, your fine”, and I then have to deal with the fact that life is shit and that I am actually a lazy pos.
If you’re worried about being a lazy pos, then you probably aren’t. If things are going wrong enough for you to seek out a professional analysis, I truly believe that any pysch specialist worth having will try to figure out why you’re feeling the way you are. Even if they rule out ADHD, they could recognize something else is going on and get you treated that way. I hope that’s of some consolation; good luck Internet stranger!
Thanks.
That’s super reassuring and affirming.
I guess coming to the conclusion I probably have ADHD and/or bipolar has made me tunnel vision on a black/white result for that. As opposed to, the professional is going to try and help me.
Oh wow. Thanks for checking in!
Apparently I don’t meet the criteria based on the forms I filled in and stuff, but I’m working on getting a 2nd opinion with someone that will hopefully help me through the process.
I think I’m still coming to terms with it, and identifying the things I have issues with in a way that I can explain them. Instead of panicking and my mind going blank.
So… Work in progress? I guess
psychologists would say u may have this disorder but it is obviously not dramatically affecting your quality of life as to require a drug dependency. which i find to be true of most people with “adhd” though yall could be different most people haven’t figured out what gives them drive or a system that works well for them. lazy exists but its effectively capitalist propaganda.
i think i have adhd too and can’t seem to remember to do anything when i need to remember it at least. and i just have a lot of other symptoms but im also aware that I’ve made it this far (21) i dont think i need addys or whatever. granted i smoke shittons of weed which can give adhd like symptoms so who knows.
idek what i rambled on about in this comment at this point
There was adhdmemes on Reddit. It’s basically what this place is.

Good luck in there! It’s a more complicated journey than it should be.
That’s how I felt before diagnosis. I think most of us did, and some still feel that way after diagnosis.
I’ve literally never heard or read that a psychologist didn’t give out a diagnosis.
