I know she thinks she’s being clever here, but the post after this is how PMDD and ADHD is connected, so she must be coming down from her SI trip high and is now feeling down again?

This is so annoying as it makes it harder for others who have actual ADHD, especially those who are diagnosed as adults. Ugh.
Agreed. I was really lucky in my new primary doctor believed me after just chatting with me for 10 minutes asking specific questions after I wanted to be tested for being on the spectrum. Lol. He basically said. Well. I am diagnosed and I generally can tell if I am around someone else that is. So you should go talk to… 😆 34 and things started to click finally. Weird life we live.
I’m glad thing worked out so well for you. I have heard getting the right diagnosis is life-changing
Good! I actually am not “formally” diagnosed because I have significant hearing loss and was told by two psychologists who specialize in ADHD diagnosis that I won’t be able to do many/most of the tests. My doctor had me complete a few questionnaires, took a case history and started me on medication based on that. I’m doing really well after some adjustments. So I feel extra sensitive to influencers undermining real diagnoses as I already have a form of imposter syndrome due to my experience. I don’t really tell people that I have ADHD.
Yeah dude the influencers out there are creating an issue for people with actual ailments. It’s fucked. I am glad you were able to find a solution with your doctor! Most of the tests specific to adhd were indeed auditory. And I failed them so bad. I thought I aced it. She said she watched my face change and knew I wasn’t lying cause it was so bad she thought I was joking around based on the IQ test she gave me prior 😆💀
Thank you for validating me! And haha it’s interesting how so many people with adhd struggle with auditory tasks. I have thought about getting an IQ test done for the heck of it!
SM Infliencers make a mockery of a lot diagnosis both mental health wise and physical health. I didn’t really notice it until my daughter, during her later high school years, started suggesting she had symptoms of all sorts of ailments. I saw the link between what she was consuming online and her symptoms
Oh wow! That is scary and I don’t doubt at all that influencers make people think they’re unhealthy just because they themselves are looking for attention. Ugh. I provided a bit more context to my comment below to a different person!
