thanks, just read the entire thing :)

silly rant about my silly problems

I really feel like I should get checked for ADHD but it's hard for me to make an appointment for that in the first place.

I'm also scared that I would just tell them what they want to hear without having any "real" condition. I feel like I can't trust a psychotherapist's judgement because our current understanding of adult ADHD feels limited and they would either be too eager to diagnose you or not be willing to diagnose you in the first place.

Another problem is that my public health care system is complicated to navigate but I don't feel like I could trust private care psychotherapists since they have a financial interest in diagnosing me (like I'm just paying them to prescribe me drugs...).

My opinion on the matter is that one should always try talking to a professional if they suspect they have ADHD. Our understanding of it is limited, but in my experience at least, getting to try meds is what cemented it; the fact that amphetamine slows me down, directs my thoughts, and lets me focus on what I want to do is a world of difference from the experience of average neurotypical person taking amphetamine.

And even if you don't have it, and/or meds aren't for you, then even so, just from the fact you think you might have it implies to me that you feel you have some symptoms/traits in common, and so you might benefit from learning some of the coping strategies ADHD people develop to deal with those symptopms/traits.

It's always better to try and know everything you can and open every option available to you, imo.

Yeah, I guess there's really no reason not to give it a shot. Thanks for the input ^^
