Hey guys! I've been on and off testing for adhd the past 6 years. I've also been tested for autism, dyslexia, depression, anxiety, usually they end up saying I have some sort of depression or anxiety or mood disorder/or even personality disorder. I think I've been tested 3 times for ADHD as my psychologists/gp keep suggesting me to get tested, and none of the assessments came out with a positive result. I personally do actually think I have ADHD as I recognise myself in the symptoms and what I know, I've felt the same since I first learned about it at 16, and everytime I hear about it it feels very personal and true to my experience- but my parents don't agree. Although I score "high during testing" I can't remember my childhood well, and my parents are not willing to accept, or help looking into this so they can't assess further I am studying performing arts at uni, so the teachers knows that there's a lot of neurodiversity at school, however they can't help me due to me not having a proper diagnosis. I am really struggling, but I keep getting refered to get tested for that and that, without receiving help. My GP literally told me my issues were too complicated and I wouldnt be able to find the root of the problem, especially not knowing my childhood. Is this normal? I feel so empty- my social life is a mess, my uni life is a mess, I wish I ever felt normal. Sure I've been depressed as long as I can remember, but even when I feel normal ish, like in the holiday break now" I am still the same "mess", and it feels just as bad, except from the intense mood swings and sadness of it all, as soon as I get back to uni, or work I get depressed again by how little I'm able to cope with this life, teachers and my boss being mad at me. It's so stupid, I love performing arts, I love my job- yet I fail at it, I just can't meet the expectations that is required of me I keep hearing, also that I'm unable to listen to people, me misinterpreting etc. it seems like I constantly get into trouble and it always seems to be my fault because of some silly mistake I did or if I said the wrong thing. It gets worse the older I get too (I'm 23). It just never ever ever stops, I feel like I keep trying to receive help but can't figure out whatever is wrong and I'm so close to failing my dream course at my dream uni due to lack of attendance as it all is giving me such anxiety or I literally forget to meet for class or work. sorry this was long! if you read it to the end, thanks for that! hugs
