I didn't have that reaction but I've been treated for anxiety and depression and have spent most of the last 15 years being medicated for it, even on very heavy duty medications and combinations. U never felt like it answered my questions if that makes sense?I've been looking into this for the past few months and will admit it did start after seeing Tiktoks in the subject. I've always been diagnosed with depression or anxiety from a teenager, now in my 30s but have never felt it was my full story. I feel like lots of my traits have especially shown since I became a mum 6 years ago but I have read this can be the case for many women. Anyway I was in a phone appointment with my go practises mh nurse about my anxiety meds and I plucked up the courage to ask about exploring other reasons for my symptoms and mention ADHD etc and was told "the likelihood of me having it was slim as it would have been picked up when I was in school or by psychiatrist I saw for depression at 16. Has anyone experienced similar? It's really put me off asking again.
I had that feeling. So much happier understanding and the meds have really helped with the RSD that crippled me before I feel much more even keeled.I was diagnosed last week and it’s felt so liberating
What do you take? I take breaks from Elvanse over weekends sometimes and I’m just just normal uselessness/social anxiety occurs!Does anyone take breaks from their meds? Yesterday I took a break because my boyfriend and I were going rockclimbing and have lunch and then just chill, didn’t have to work or do any uni assignments. By the end of the day I got v emotionally overwhelmed and started crying and today woken up with a bad headache. I’m looking up online what other things say and it’s very divided. Some say theyre good and others say not to do breaks. What do you guys think? Does anyone try to take a day or more? Or is it just silly to?
I do, my psych said I can skip taking it at a weekend if I don’t have plans etc but I don’t skip it often.Does anyone take breaks from their meds?

I found out I had autism about a year ago and it was such a Eureka moment. I went through a lot of cycles of emotion if I'm honest. I would go from anger to relief to happiness and around again. Not sure I'll ever get over the anger tbh. That said, it is liberatingHi, just been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at the grand old age of 45, almost 46! I’ve always known I’m different but had never considered either before this past month. I feel relieved and utterly overwhelmed at the same time. I went the private route as just needed to know once there was any suspicion. What caused me to seek a diagnosis was MTV Teen mum uk! One of the dads found out he had ADHD and something clicked, I went and read about it and just felt like I was reading my life story. No one has ever suggested either before just explained as general anxiety, depression and PTSD (from miscarriages) that I was lazy, disorganised, dopey, over emotional and awkward the list is endless. oh and was once told I might have a personality disorder. Now need to have the medical tests to see if I’m ok to try medication. Feeling hopeful but wary. I hate change and think I’m going to find everything difficult at first but who knows could be the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Sorry to derail from private diagnosis.
But quick questions-
does anyone find it hard to create or stick to a routine? Like a morning and night one. I desperately want one as I’m constantly tired, going to bed late and rushing around in the morning. but I either get bored of them so quickly OR I feel like they’re so whelming, I never start!
yes 100% yes, I find starting them and sticking to them so difficult. My sleeping routine is so bad and I’m constantly exhausted I just about make it in time for work every morning Sorry to derail from private diagnosis.
