Trying to get diagnosed with adhd

I've been trying to get diagnosed with adhd for a few months now. My therapist can't diagnose me and she was taking an inordinate amount of time to get us the resources or send me to someone so I went to my doctor. She luckily can diagnose ADHD! She said from what me and my dad described it seems likely that I do have it, and gave me questionnaires for two teachers to fill out. I gave them to two teachers that I think I interact with most, and when they were returned they were mostly ones and zeros.

I desperately need to know how much these will affect my chances of a diagnosis. I think the forms are incredibly useless personally, because most of the questions are things that I would have to have talked to my teachers about, and I try to hide any failings I have as much as possible. One teacher even basically outright lied. Possibly not, because it was on a question asking about the quality of my assignment completion and he said above average (objectively untrue, I have turned in like half the assignments and all were late) but I go to an alternate school so maybe that is truly above average there, or he just likes me (I used to do a lot better).

I'm really desperate to try medication, because in the place I am now I will not be able to go to college. There isn't really an argument there. I've tried all the non medication things to help, but they only help a little bit and usually stop working after a few times or depending on my mental state otherwise. My mental health in general is also suffering right now so I don't even have the motivation to try sometimes (it's way better than it used to be, but still not at all good).

Could I have somehow gaslight myself into thinking I have adhd?? I score very high on the self assessment but maybe it's something else? I can't find anything else that matches all my symptoms from online research. Sorry if this makes no sense, I'm probably kind of spiraling right now due to a lot of other shitty things going on in my life.

(16, pre-T) I probably don't pass, but any tips? I need to get my hair cut again soon.

I really don't want to go back to a natural hair color, and I'm trying to lose a little weight and gain muscle currently.

These pictures are probably too flattering to be accurate but whatever:(

I know I might be dumb af, but is this a scam?

Normally I'm really suspicious of buying anything off tik tok ship, especially something consumable, but the price and flavor availability is really good, as well as claiming to be sold by the official ghost company? It does have a verified check, but I don't know how hard it actually is to get that. Thanks
