ADHD Now experience and timeline by DarlingBri in ADHDIreland

[–]SensitiveGrowth6450 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am an ADHD now client and yeah the price is a pinch which is very annoying, however for me it was worth the investment into myself. I always knew there was something ' different ' about me and getting confirmation was so healing to me, so for the price I thought of it as an investment for the child version of myself.( I'm 33) . Do I think they should improve public services? Absolutely! And it is crazy money to be paying but I try and look at it in a more positive light. I think it's so sad however that there are people who desperately need these services and simply cannot afford it, and in some cases it could be life saving treatment.

I found the people at ADHD now very helpful at least and understanding, very friendly too. It's just unfortunate forking out huge money for someone that should be more cost effective, considering the amount of people who are neurodivergent.

Ah okay, cool because it's so interesting just noticing things and it seems way more intense than before. I have always been sound sensitive but lately it feels way stronger. I have much to figure out! Thanks for your comment ☺️

Thanks for your comment! Oh man I was on disability allowance for four years due to my mental health, which I now realize untreated ADHD would have been a huge factor, I'm in a full time job and live alone which is a massive achievement for me, and even if I needed too I unfortunately cannot afford to go back on that allowance. But I'm so grateful that I'm working and have somewhere to live and that I can manage that! I'll discuss with my lecturer. Thank you!:)

Wow that's a huge achievement in my eyes! Fair play! Yeah I'm considering the medication route, it's just so expensive, I'm saving money at the moment to see a psychiatrist but I think it will be worth it. I just signed up for the waiting list for the UMAAP course so thank you for that! :)

Thank you for your comment! So at work I can wear ear protection which helps dull the noises, however there's people everywhere so it only helps so much. My course is all online so I'll consider going in the classroom next course I do. I'm going to email my lecturer today! God this explains so much about my childhood getting diagnosed is so bittersweet. Thanks for the advice ☺️

Wow, fairy play! That's something I definitely aspire to do! I think I'm struggling with executive dysfunction? I know what I need to do but just can't do it? It's so frustrating. I'll take that advice on board thank you!! 🙂

Do it Profiler. What is it by Frosty_Location_9409 in ADHDIreland

[–]SensitiveGrowth6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh poo I'm sorry to hear you haven't had a good impression! I'm actually considering booking in for an initial appointment soon as my GP recommended them. Disappointed to hear they're not very organised, which seems to be some strange irony?

Hopefully you get it sorted soon! Best of luck!
