lmao so I always suspected I might have adhd & for years tried having a therapist take my concern seriously because I struggled so much in school & life with my difficulty focusing & a bunch of other symptoms. But just tried to find ways to cope & deal with it the best I could

But because I have depression they’ve always told me, “once you have your depression down we’ll see” and like man I’ve been on meds for like 3 years. I’ve had extended periods of times where I’m good & I’m still having symptoms

And when I finally talked to someone about it they didn’t take me seriously because I found patched up ways to deal with my symptoms & “it doesn’t effect my life enough” like https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

and I’m really not trying to self diagnose but like sometimes you just kind of know that you’re not 100% there or normal. And it’s really hard to try to explain that to someone & have them take you seriously as an adult.

It’s just frustrating because I also had this issue where for years I struggled with intense headaches & migraines and told doctors & they brushed it off as stress. Until one day my eyes became so blurry I couldn’t see

And oop- guess who almost went blind because of all the excess pressure & fluid on my brain & eyes where the main symptom was migraines & headaches??? Yeah.

idk the call with the doctor was two days ago & I’m still just upset about it. I couldn’t explain to her my symptoms & she didn’t seem to care because I wasn’t diagnosed as a kid & it’s like my parents are Latino- they would have never let me get diagnosed

I just wanna know. I don’t need more medication. I just need to relief of knowing- so I can make sense of everything past & present. Cuz it really bothers me.

I’ll probably delete this thread later. I’m just upset about it still.
