35 year old woman - ADHD? What next..?

I am looking for advice or anybody who may have had a similar experience?

Shit has hit the fan lately. A number of things have happened that have made me finally admit I need help and the way I live isn't normal. I can't cover up my fuck-ups anymore.

It's been suggested I may have ADHD. At first I thought it was ridiculous and I shelved it. Over the course of the last several months I've done a lot of research. It's been a bit of an awakening and I feel like I might have the answer.

I'm starting CBT therapy (privately) this week.

I'm contemplating investigating the ADHD thing, maybe trying to get some medication. I feel as a 35-year-old woman, walking into a GP's office and saying "I think I might have ADHD", I'm going to be told to get on my bike.

I don't even know if it will be worthwhile.

Does anyone have any experience?

I have an appointment for an ADHD referral on Monday that I got through my GP, I will update you when I have been. I just took a list to by GP of all the issues I have now and when I was younger, I also went through mental health services for a phobia 10 years ago and during the initial assessment for that they flagged possible ADHD
