Being undiagnosed

I thought I was just losing my mind. Before i realized that i had an actual neurological problem. I can't even remember to fill up my gas tank before I run completely out over and over again burned out a fuel filter. Walking for gas in the Seattle rain is bad enough that I would think I could never forget again. But alas, 2 nights ago I was on a trek, gas can in hand, to the nearest gas station at 2am. But my docs just want to continue to treat me for anxiety, depression, ptsd, and addiction like they have for the past 3 decades with no improvement!!!!

Right there with you. Waiting for the VA to decide that I can go outside for treatment since they don't have anyone to diagnose or treat ADHD. I'm 44 and just figured out that I have ADHD this year!! It makes so much sense now! Hope I can get help soon. It's frustrating when others seem to be the only ones who can make all the decisions for you while youth just sit around and wait....

I'm 51 and have been told the waiting time for diagnosis is 2.5 YEARS!!! I can't afford to go private as I have chronic health issues and have just lost my job...so am trying EVERYTHING I can to support me in the meantime

I’m 33 and undiagnosed. My oldest, 10 yrs, was diagnosed a few years ago- and there’s a chance my youngest is on the spectrum. I’ve been struggling quite badly since I had my youngest nearly 3 years ago. Recently I’ve plugged into the idea that I may be undiagnosed ADHD and a lot of things began making sense. Looking back, I think I was able to mask so many symptoms.. and eventually having my second kiddo has required that I find new strategies = struggle bus. However, I do also struggle with anxiety and depression quite badly. I’m in the process of finding a new family doctor, so I’ve not yet asked for a referral to get a proper diagnosis. Wow, that was quite a bit. Sorry! But it does feel good to talk about it! 😅
