I was like that in highschool. Straight A's until 11 and 12. Doing everything the night before and not studying didn't cut it in senior, and I failed and dropped out. Primary school I was the chatty little girl always talking on top of the teacher and putting my hand up to answer the question before it was finished being asked.Oh i feel for you, depression and/or anxiety is often comorbid with adhd, especially undiagnosed adhd. And no wonder, it’s incredibly hard going through life thinking you’re lazy, not good enough no matter how hard you try, and feel as though you’re constantly letting others down. Wondering how your peers can achieve things while you can’t. The diagnosis was life changing for me, and I’m such a better mother because of it too.
Adhd is also highly hereditary, a child has a 50% chance of having ADHD if one parent had it. As it often runs in families it’s actually sometimes really hard for an individual to pick up on. If you’ve grown up with one or two adhd parents then behaviour associated with that is in many ways normal for you. I honestly think that what jessi says about her upbringing chaos is quite normal for her, so she’s parenting from that schema. Another reason why I don’t think she picks up on how different life could be if she took action.
funny you say that, and it does downs on what you say as super good as a child. My school reports were great, and my diagnosing psychiatrist viewed them all. Putting your hand up first, talking a lot, is actually impulsivity but in girls comes across as bright and “engaging in class discussion”. People with adhd can have incredibly high IQ’s. There’s no correlation between adhd and IQ, what it’s about is fulfilling your potential. I was a straight A student In primary school, in high school I hardly tried and did most assignments the night before (classic adhd, we need that urgency/crisis to motivate us). Yet when looking at what I’ve achieved post school/uni and looking at my school reports the psychiatrist could see I haven’t fulfilled my full potential and that indicated ADHD too.
and yes, women and girls with adhd are incredibly good at learnt masking behaviour. Especially in social situations and with social skills
Good, she’s a pathetic idiot, she doesn’t deserve invites to friendmas.She wasn't at Harmony's friendsmas, and it wasn't like she had another party/event she posted being at home
A GP referral and then assessment and diagnosis by psychiatrist. A psychiatrist needs to diagnose an adult and can prescribe medication, a psychologist can not diagnose adults or prescribe medication (they can diagnose children but still not prescribe).Wow, this all sounds like me… so informative! What’s the first step to get a diagnosis? GP referral to a specialist? Xx
Hmm, looks like it blocks all accounts? Or do I need a separate login for the new one? Can't believe I'm such a petty bitchThat’s so crazy, why the heck would she block you, did you like a comment or anything that someone wrote something against her?
Create a new burner just to view her or watch from the anonymous story viewers she won’t get engagement stats off you that way either
Well deserved I’d say hahahaThey are amazing aren’t they
Good on you! It’s a hard process and for those of us with ADHD or suspected ADHD, it involves executive function, which none of us with ADHD have - making & attending multiple appointments (on-time), filling in assessments, potentially trying to find school reports (to show evidence ADHD was present as a child) & waiting! Lots of waiting & patience required. None of this is easy and you will want to give up multiple times (ADHD related task avoidance is real!). But if you can stick with it, it’s honestly worthwhile! Best of luckI’m a long time lurker “hi!” but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing about the ADHD. I’ve been seeing a psychologist again for anxiety, and she recently brought up the possibility of having ADHD. I’ve gone to my gp for a referral to the psychiatrist but I’ve been sitting on it. Mainly because I looked up the clinic where I was referred to and there were reviews saying it was hard to get through and then it became a too daunting task so I’ve been avoiding it.
But you may have motivated me to get it done as all I want for myself is to feel like a somewhat effective human as I currently do not feel like that.
She had a bunch of them at her pop up stall when she had her seconds albums ages agoDidn't she stock them for a bit with Bloom?
