Part one of my adhd appointment. Got very lost, very overwhelmed, panicking about being late, couldn’t hear the receptionist over the hustle and bustle BUT I’m checked in and waiting to be seen AH

After a two hour consultation, and crying hysterically, the psychiatrist I saw (a literal angel) said he doesn’t think it’s straight up ADHD but he does think I show more signs leaning towards a personality disorder so I’m being referred for that again, so love that for me.

I couldn’t find this tweet yesterday but I got my second assessment appointment with a psychiatrist (Through the HSE) for early September 2021 which is only 4 months away.
I’m blown away by how quick these appointments have been for me and I’m very grateful for the HSE for this

We’re still going to look at ADHD because I still really feel there’s something there but at the end of my first appointment I was told that it looks like I primarily show signs of a neurotic personality disorder.

I’m going to document my mental health journey in this thread -

- for anyone who may be interested in going down a similar road for themselves.
I’m learning to essentially “take off the mask” I’ve been wearing for 24 years and hopefully get some help for the way I feel and act by the end of 2021
