@liliththehellhound @fiore as someone who brought up my concerns about having ADHD, I was completely brushed off.I described to my previous psychiatrist about how I was be sitting, thinking of things I needed/wanted to do. Most of them weren’t really difficult tasks, but I could not get my brain to initiate doing them. I would then become stressed by that fact and get depressed. >>

<< I also talked about I could then hyperfixate on things like games to the point where I ignore bodily needs like food and sleep. Their takeaway from that? “Oh, well it sounds like you don’t have a deficit in attention.” 🙃I felt completely invalidated of my issues. This is not to say that they’re all bad, but some of them are ignorant in certain fields, or sometimes even biased. It definitely takes effort to find a good doctor or therapist that will hear you out and help.

@raccoon @fiore The last professional I went to for my concerns with ADHD was not a good one. I described to my previous psychiatrist about how I would be sitting, thinking of things I needed/wanted to do. Most of them weren’t really difficult tasks, but I could not get my brain to initiate doing them. I would then become stressed by that fact and get depressed.>>

<< I also described about how I would hyperfixate on my interests to the point of ignoring needs like using the restroom, eating food, even sleeping.What was their takeaway you ask? “Oh, well that doesn’t sound like a deficit in attention to me.” Just taking the literal words in the diagnosis, when it’s more of a dysregulation of attention than it being a deficit. This is something I had been researching for months before bringing it, and I was completely disregarded. >>

<< this isn’t to say that all healthcare professionals are bad, but, at least where I’m located, many are either biased or are ignorant of certain disorders. The system is a mess.It takes effort to find a good therapist or any other healthcare provider that will actually listen and take you seriously. Especially if you have a uterus.Now as far as meds go, I’m not 100% where I would fall, as some medication needs things like bloodwork done regularly to make sure things are in parameters. >>

<< I have tried adderall a few times myself without a prescription. This isn’t something I’m necessarily telling others to do. I just happened to be in a situation that has allowed me to do so. Honestly, I felt pretty normal for once. No random racing thoughts distracting me or bringing my mood down, and if it does happen, it’s much easier to regulate back to normal. It’s honestly crazy lol >>

@Badgeryiff @liliththehellhound @fiore Honestly, I think everyone should have a therapist that they see regularly. It’s shown to be pretty healthy for you. You can always ask them what their approach is first and let them know what you’re expecting out of them. I want find one again, but other things need have to come first. But yeah, I get the self loathing a lot. Hopefully I can get things sorted soon
