So yesterday was a big day. Went private and had my adhd diagnosis confirmed my clinic and treatment plan put on place. Because I went private im having my medication sent out this week so hopefully I will be able to start closer to the end of the week! Excited to finally have some focus and quiet in my head!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hello guys, My name is Matthew and I got diagnosed with ADHD in February this year and I found it hard to process the diagnosis but felt relieved to have answers. I am a visual and doing learner and have recently made some visual aids to support me with completing daily tasks. I am just wondering if anyone else does anything similar and if they are willing to share what they do to help me get some new ideas/inspirations. Thank you 😊

Hi, I have always had a temper. Nothing serious that I get into fights, but I fly off the handle very easily over the slightest little thing. It seems to be getting worse also. I'm waiting on a medication recommendation from the psychiatrist, but wondered if anyone else has this and how they deal with it. I get so angry and shout and swear, then almost instantly (most of the time) feel absolutely terrible and guilty! Other times I can let things fester and dwell for days, even weeks, about something and overthink everything about why it happened or things I could have, should have said during an argument, etc.. I also only get around 4 hours of sleep a night for the past couple of years, which makes things even worse and me more irritable. I'm honestly at my wit's end with all of it and life at the moment! I'm still waiting on a private diagnosis and meds as my GP wouldn't help at all. Luckily, I know 2 psychiatrists who have both said I need meds, but again, the process is a long and drawn-out one... I feel completely lost at the moment. I have no motivation, and generally, I'm feeling very depressed. My spending is out of control. I'm in a mountain of debt, and my work and home life are suffering due to my moods and my inability to do simple tasks.... Sorry for the long post. I just feel I needed to vent as I don't really have anywhere else to turn! Hope you're all okay!! G
