I am in the fortunate position now my kids have left home that I can afford to go private.
I paid for my youngest to be evaluated, paid for my eldest who has been diagnosed but not by a psychiatrist. My partner is booked in. Finally I realised I'm worthy of being evaluated.
I know I have ADHD, it's increased over menopause. I'm wanting a diagnosis to access meds. I've taken ritalin before. High dose makes me sleepy. Medium dose makes me able to do boring stuff. Like take the empty shampoo bottle out of the shower to the recycling IYKYK. Pick up the piece of paper I've walked past for 4 days.
I'd love for the day to day stuff to be under control. Its such an effort to just brush my teeth! So many steps. So hard to remember. So embarrassing because I work in a senior role and I'm amazing at the big stuff!
