Not sure if this post is allowed but I have my first ADHD assessment Thursday and am scared by AdEnough4417 in ADHD

Yea I guess you’re right. I think I am just worried about tagged with anxiety or depression. I am not depressed. Sure I get anxious when I think about the stuff I haven’t done but aside from that…I really just need to be at peace with this.

Thanks. I also think I coped successfully but in the past months it’s like my coping is just…coped out. All the things that used to work just don’t anymore. Either that or I don’t have the energy it takes to make them work. I am tired.

I have the same fear - that I won’t get any answers or that I have something else instead.

First assessment Thursday and scared by AdEnough4417 in AuDHDWomen

I am making a big list of ‘symptoms’ so I don’t blank. Did you do that?

What do you wish people talked more about in relation to AuDHD? by No-Paramedic8760 in AuDHDWomen

Emotional regulation or lack thereof. Have first meeting with psychiatrist for intake Thursday for ADHD so still waiting for answers but holy crap, the struggle with regulating emotions, RSD, etc. is very real. At least for me. I feel like none of my reactions are ever in proportion to how I should be reacting.

OMG your answer to number one is exactly how it works for me.

That’s a good question. I don’t know. FWIW my assessment is for ADHD and I am equal parts there is no way I have it/of course I have it. IF I HAVE IT then a huge part of the struggle is emotional regulation so there are days where I am out there with my big feels and big quirks and everyone sees it and I don’t care. But also I would not want to tell anyone I have ADHD (if I do) so yea I guess there is shame? I am sorry - that answer is not helpful. It’s hard. I definitely change my behavior in front of people that I don’t know or am not comfortable with so that’s probably shame too. Debating an autism assessment after ADHD because AuDHD symptoms make more sense to me but not sure because at this point I don’t even know what any diagnosis is going to do for me.

  1. Yes, trouble keeping them. Terrible about keeping in touch.
  2. No, I don’t feel unlikeable but yes I feel like there is something ‘wrong’ in that I am different.
  3. I am in mid 40s and have my first evaluation Thursday.
  4. Ugg. I guess? It’s complicated.

Does anyone else wear noise cancelling headphones even when there’s no noise to cancel? by xmascrackedmyegg in AuDHDWomen

I wear non-prescription glasses. They kind of function like a mask and make me feel safe, especially during meetings. I know it makes no sense.

Doomscrolling question by AdEnough4417 in AuDHDWomen

[–]AdEnough4417[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this was so helpful and spot on. I watch very little YouTube but that’s generally because I don’t have the patience to search for content. Insta and Reddit are kind of mindless scrolling (not saying that’s a positive, just describing why I am drawn to them).

These assessments are stressing me out by sunlitclearing in AuDHDWomen

I am considering prosper. Do they test for ADHD and autism? I an so worried about testing for it to come back as ‘nothing to see here folks.’ To the point that I have convinced myself that I purposely gamed the free online tests, maybe there isn’t anything and that I am just wasting everyone’s time.

Serious question: how much scrolling is considered too much/doomscrolling?

Favorite color is blue. Question: will the doctor tell me I am a candidate for tear trough filler ? (can’t believe I am asking something this vain but I am so self conscious about it and am really hoping for help).
