Bit of background:
I’ve struggled most of my life with OCD/anxiety and depression.
As a child I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia. The dyslexia had ‘disappeared’ 
by the time I left primary school but the dyspraxia has always been an issue.
I got talking to someone with ADHD and they asked whether ADHD had ever been considered. Initially, I was confused. My earliest and only memories of being at school with children with ADHD was hyper little boys, running around, unable to sit still. I know that’s a massive assumption and in fact, not entirely the case. Having looked at the symptoms or signs I’d most definitely say I can relate to 80%. I’ve got awful concentration and memory, everything takes me twice as long to grasp, I’m obsessive and over sensitive, I struggle with mundane tasks and have to take regular breaks from everything I do, I lose everything, I’m always late.
I went to my GP and have finally been referred to my local ADHD/ADD service. What next? I’ve heard it’s going to be a long and hard journey to get a diagnosis. It would be important to me if I do have it, to get a diagnosis and possibly be medicated. I’d much rather understand why I am, the way I am, with the view to possibly coming off of AD’s.
Any guidance would be appreciated x
