Early last year my best friend who is a nurse did an ADHD assessment on me for fun because I joked about my lack of attention and I happen to score severe. skip forward to Tuesday this week my therapist said she noticed some symptoms and how ADHD looks different in women and then she assessed me for ADHD during my therapy session and I scored severe again. it was emotional and we talked about it and things hit me and I just felt
- relieved because I just wanted to know why I was the way that I was 2.I was honestly just feeling tired of myself so to put a name on it, made a difference in my mood. I started to do research and I felt like I was discovering myself and my life made sense to me. But recently I’ve started to worry about not being believed I had ADHD cuz now I really feel like I do have it and I know that it’s hard to detect in women and I worry that I’ll get denied treatment and if that happens I would feel so defeated. The good thing is that I have a therapist and she’s a CBT therapist so I wouldn’t be left with no support
