This is the thread to come to when you need to get stuff off your chest but don’t want to bother or upset anyone. Please be conscious of your comrades and use spoilers and CWs as necessary
Also, sometimes when folks vent they just want to get it out, they don’t want advice or feedback or anything, so if that’s you please identify as such and we’ll enforce
If you don’t want people to respond to your venting, start the post with the ❌ emoji
If you really do want or even need responses ✅
If you don't care, don't worry about it :heart-sickle:
I just came up with the above system on the spot, please let me know if you have feedback on it!
After posting this thread https://hexbear.net/post/82174 I finally went ahead and made an appointment with my GP to get referred to a psychiatrist. I started keeping a note on my phone about possible symptoms and memories of things that might have been related to undiagnosed ADHD as I think of them. I also just spoke to my friend who also got diagnosed as an adult last year about their experience and after that I'm fairly convinced I do have it. Problem is, the appointment with my GP is in 2 weeks and no idea how long it will be until I'll be able to see the psychiatrist after I get a referral. I feel like I'm now aware I'm in Plato's cave but know I won't even be able to start leaving for at least 2 weeks. It's hard to not think about all the lost time.
