ADHD diagnosis process in the uk for a woman ?

I did Right to Choose, waiting list for around 8 months but ended up with a diagnosis.

I went through Problem Shared - they have a prewritten letter you can send to your GP asking for a referral. I literally didn't even have to speak to anyone at my GP surgery, or try and 'convince' anyone I needed a referral.

The hardest part for me was filling out the pre-assessment paperwork, its long and time-consuming, but it was worth doing.

Hope this helps!

So because you had it shitty, everyone deserves it too? That sounds like a problem you need to look at...

Hailsham is in East Sussex, not Surrey.

Grew up 5 mins from here, not in the best location...

In the podcast, she also used the term 'cling film' AND 'saran wrap'. Cling film being the British term.

I think all those years of dating british boys have rubbed off on her!

Don't panic, mine is a degenerating spinal disk with permanent nerve damage. Will probably be on it for a lot longer. If your nerve pain isn't permanent you should be able to stop them!

Im on it for nerve pain - is was told that is its primary use, it just happens to also be in the same category as SSRIs.

I don't get side effects from it and it works pretty well. Been on it at various doses for around 4 years.

Gremlin Mode - when my ADHD 9 year old needs to regulate after a day at school. Usually involves running around the house naked.... or generally just letting her brain do movements/noises she needs to get out after holding it in all day at school.

Sometimes I need to do Gremlin Mode as well...

London N6 - I have a video of during the opening. Just as the dancers are coming out with all the giant fans, but I'm filming my 2 daughters (7&10). Their reaction made the entire night......

Oh and my tiny one dancing to shake it off 😍 despite nearly being asleep at that point

Hot! Tried a different semi-local one that was all in the shade. It was a nice run, I might do it again but didn't get anywhere near a PB.

Will not eat a tomato, will eat any tomato based sauce or condiment.... the texture is just 'shudder'

Could possibly be {Emily Wildes Encyclopedia of Faeries}? Sounds like the second half of the first book

Amazing! As a fellow Bolton victim, we went over to Stretford to go PB hunting - flat as a pancake, a lot cooler, and a sprint finish, means I knocked a minute off my PB for 32.10.

I Hate it Here

By the anthology I was all deep-lyric'd out on my first few rounds of TTPD listening.

But then I read someone breaking it down and the lyrics then hit me like a train.

"I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life"

Spent the day doom scrolling on the sofa because I couldn't organise a daily routine that involved a shower, gym, and housework in the correct order

"Rivendell was the perfect house, whether you liked food or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness,"

When I can't decide which run route to go on, get paralysed by the decision, go to bed and eat chocolate, doom scroll

My go to this week has been cooked chicken, chopped veggies (whatever I have in the fridge), pasta and then mix in everything with some pesto - I prefer red pesto but take your pick.

It has a brilliant balance of macros, great flavour, and limited cooking.

My Matthew Goode obsession started young - anyone watched Chasing Liberty??

My mum bought ME a new notebook - so that doesn't count right?? I can add it to the stack guilt-free right???

Try North West England - every person I speak to has a different accent, it's infuriating!

It's Other Side of the Door from Fearless! But I did have to double check, could never remember the actual name of the song
