Yet another: I doubt my diagnosis post

I was chatting to my mum this morning about how my younger sister has officially been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.

She said “oh yes I got you tested when you were 5 for ADD [as it was known] and the doctor just told me you had it but you just needed to be more stimulated and you’d grow out of it.”

So now I fast forward 30 years and maybe I have ADHD????

But I also have loooong episodes of depression and suicide attempts plus a bonus of alcoholism.

So yep. Doubting myself and my diagnosis. I’m seeing my psychiatrist in November (thanks to my country’s healthcare system) so I might bring it up then.

Just a little rant/vent/existential crisis.
