my therapist told me she thinks I may have ADHD and I now have an appointment with a PMHNP next week...

I'm 27 and been thru college and no one has ever noticed before 
I just thought I lacked discipline and work ethic 
it would fucking explain a lot tho, mom has it to the point she barely functions.


I'm a little in shock and in a surreal kinda way, I sorta hope its true because I'd finally have some goddamned answers as to why life is so fucking hard lolol

That kinda makes sense, we're held to a higher behavioral standard than men...

my mom was diagnosed pretty young, but hers is also completely out of control and she doesn't function well so I'm sure it was really hard to not notice.

I mean, I just accepted mediocre grades?
I graduated but with a relatively low GPA, but I also went to a very intense college? 
I also transferred a lot of credits in from community college so I was able to take fewer classes per semester which I think really fucking helped.

I actually went do disability services my senior year and told them I was struggling and they were like, "well you made it to senior year so it can't be that bad"

the symptoms present differently and most people base their understanding of any medical stuff on male bodies/brains.

another example  most of us know male heart attack symptoms which are actually totally different from female heart attack symptoms so women will end up not knowing theyre having a heart attack because its not the symptoms they expect or associate with it.

male is the medical default and this causes females to go untreated

That's what my therapist said
on that note she has not diagnosed me, of course
she just put me on a path to getting a diagnosis if there is one to be had.
I'm glad shes better than my last therapist and when she didn't have an answer she referred me out to someone who can help.

the whole thing with me even going to a therapist at all was just two weeks of totally out-of-control symptoms and I don't understand why it'd suddenly get worse or I'd lose my ability to manage thru it unless I just totally cracked under stress or something.

I have friends in mental health care who legitimately would not allow me to continue fucking my shit up haha

It's depressing
like I know it's gotten better in the past like, 20-ish years, but there's so far to go.
now that I'm an adult and can think back, I literally watched my mom suffer thru so much she would have been helped with had she been a man.

i ccan only speculate and im not a doctor and i literally know nothing and am an idiot but i imagine the shit with your old roommate has created extra stress and also you have physical pain which can influence mental issues and vice versa

like i can absolutely see you having more adhd type symptoms during and after that ordeal without even considering anything else youre going thru.

as someone who's afab we tend to get diagnoses quite late,, unfortunately,, i don't have adhd, but i have autism n got it diagnosed right before my 18th birthday
n like i had suffered so much for years before a psychiatrist at the ed-clinic suggested i'd do a test 2 see if i'd have aspergers (the term they used back then) n well turned out i had it all along and explained my whole childhood n my difficulties

i hope u can get the answers for ur struggles ! as it's easier when u know what u have (or don't have)

tbh it's so shitty one has to go through what feels a lifetime of thinking ur weird or like not functioning properly like everyone else,,, truly messes with ur head
