New to ADHD and struggling
Just in the process of coming to terms with possibly having ADHD (I'm 30) and seeking assessment and it suddenly feels like my life is falling apart and all my coping mechanisms have gone out the window and I no longer know what I'm doing or how to cope despite having got by okay most of my life.
Can't help feeling like I was better off not being aware how much I was struggling and it makes me feel insecure/guilty/imposter for seeking an assessment in the first place.

Hi, you are not alone at all! This happened to me and I still struggle with imposter syndrome even though I was diagnosed a year ago. I even sometimes wonder if I tricked the doctor somehow into diagnosing me, which is ridiculous but still I wonder 🤦🏽♀️ I posted the video above because it helped me to understand what had happened and why I suddenly couldn’t cope like I used to. Just know it’s so common for us women to feel like this. The world is built for and to understand men, not women 😒 like @Chelsea said, my DMs are also open (to both of you 💕) but I also can take an age to reply (typical ADHD 😅) Sending love and strength to you both xxx
Hi. Just here to say I'm feeling very similar. I am now seeking assessment at 34 after being told in my early 20s that I probably have it. Now, having had my first child and returning back to work, I am spiralling and not coping. Please feel free to message if you want to chat about going through the assessment or anything. I don't have any words of wisdom, but here in solidarity. I am totally crap at replying, but I'll try my best 😅
