Mental help readers discussion

I very likely have adhd, no diagnosis though because, like you said, it’s hard to diagnose in girls. My doctor uses the same diagnosis for five year old boys as teenage girls, so I feel like I won’t get a diagnosis until I’m an adult and I can pay for a private assessment.

I dont know if I have adhd or not be ause my parents think im just weird and my doctors dont do anything about it. like im constantly moving my leg, when im sitting and standing, i need to have something for my hands to fidget with, i zone out constantly, and I find it hard to sit still most of the time. like I said,idk if I have adhd because no one thinks anything of it

I have all of those things too… I wish it was easier to get a diagnosis/testing

Yeah, my doctor is female but just under diagnosis a lot and is really dismissive about everything, she said I could have adhd meds but didn’t diagnose me

@ava yea and its especially hard since I have a male doctor

Yeah my family doctor is male but my
pediatricion is female… she also refused to test for multiple physical things that I now have a bunch of doctors saying I probably have 😭

Yeah

Yeah me and my family think I have ADHD as well but I haven’t been diagnosed.

We’re like 75% sure I do
I have like almost all the symptoms
Never being able to focus with back ground noise
Have ten thousand hobby’s because I lose interest after about a month
Planning way far ahead into the future (I have a Pinterest board for my wedding (I’m 14 and not even dating anyone))
And I’m also super hyper almost all the time.

And honestly it’s kind of like a super power and a curse. If you know what I mean.

I don’t have very long attention spans but I get things done

that's so relatable!!! sometimes, I cant focus at all with background noise and sometimes I need it to focus

that's so relatable for me tori except I need background noise to focus if it's the right kind lol and I have a bunch of other stuff though, like missing social cues, oversharing but then overthinkinh and more

Omg yes Ava. Pretty much everything you said! Also I totally ment to say I can’t focus without background noise
Sorry about the typo!

Ohh ok that makes more sense lol I get that too, sometimes to be able to focus on schooolwork I need to have music playing and be eating or chewing gum because otherwise I just cant
