It was just around two years ago I was making the first significant thoughts of a realisation about ADHD, what it was for me and even about a diagnosis. Then the pandemic and whatever else has happened... The GP asked me a year or so ago to fill out a form on this website and email it to him... and the pandemic continued... and life stuff.
And, of course, the dratted form is a fatal combination of paperwork, being organised and also having to confront some painful and awful questions... for a person like me who has procrastinated my whole life.
So here I am in 2022, with most of the form filled in, and some still to go. I have tasked myself with making me do it this weekend, and even have gone somewhere quiet to do so because I needed the headspace. I have done other things - joined Facebook groups, had supportive conversations at work, spoken to friends, but this... was in the background always. And I want it gone.
The diagnosis is some way off I know ... if I even have one, and the waiting lists and everything else. But I want at least this part over!
I'll be back in that ADHD to add random thoughts I am sure, and then hopefully not take as long with the next step. Hello, if you are here! Reading things on MN long ago was also a key part of things falling into place for me.
