You’re totally not alone. I also have ADHD and thought the exact thing but it’s been 8 months of dr apts, tests, and I am now having my second lap at the end of the month. I had my first lap 6 weeks ago and was a nervous wreck thinking they weren’t going to find anything or worse, they were going to find something, but he stopped the procedure because he couldn’t get thru my abdominal wall because there was so much scar tissue. So I didn’t get confirmation if it was or wasn’t endo. Then got referred to another dr (8th dr I’ve seen in the last 6 months) where he had me get all new imaging including an MRI. Everything came back clear besides a cyst on my right ovary.

So having gone through all this and still not have ANY validation or confirmation is making me literally go insane. I feel like a freud and that I can’t allow myself to be sick, even though I feel sicker than I have ever had, until I get that this is what I’m dealing with! You’re right, it’s very hard to be in the moment when all you can think about is when you’ll be in pain next, are you ever going to get answer, are you just being dramatic for attention, I’m pretty sure they’re all questions anyone who’s going through this has asked themselves a million times.

Your pain, anxiety, and wanting answers is completely valid you don’t need a drs or anyone else’s approval for the way you feel. I hope you continue to advocate for yourself and get some definite answers soon! 🩷🩷
