    I havent been diagnosed but im sure i have it. Getting a diagnosis is a pain in the ass in austin. That being said i think i have gotten better at recognizing when i am in an abnormal state like depression. My mind starts getting cloudy or darker and feel it get heavier. If that makes any sense

      I went to my primary care doctor about it, and I matched every attention/stress criteria on their sheet, but I dodn’t have anger issues so they said I didn’t have ADHD. Yet every time I see a post like this it matches exactly. It’s weird to say I think I have ADHD when a doctor has told me I don’t have it… But I still think I have it, it just matches too well.

      So I guess welcome to the undiagnosed gang, good to have you

        Ugh haha! That’s annoying, can relate. I got disqualified by my psychiatrist because I can work independently 😂 Fuck haha. HOW stupid is that?

        I got pissed, immediately drove to the clinic where I got my referral, got a doctor, and told him I wanted another referral for a second opinion, told him the psychiatrist’s opinion didn’t make sense to me. He told me it’s subjective, and said I could do a self assement. I haven’t done it yet haha, but I’d recommend pushing the subject.
