Want to get diagnosed
Hey there! So recently I’ve learned more about adhd. Although google isn’t the most reliable source, I have every symptom. I also always score very high on internet tests for adhd. However, neither of my parents “believe” in adhd. I want to get diagnosed, but I’m not allowed. I’m not sure how to react with this, as I don’t want to self-diagnose in case I’m wrong.
Hello @arielblue10
I'm sorry that your parents don't believe adhd could be damaging. I hope you can get the help you deserve in the future. However, if you don't get diagnosed, that's totally okay too! Your struggles are real to you and they deserve to be acknowledged and solved. Checking a lot of symptoms alone does seem concerning! They say self-diagnosing isn't recommended and that's true, but that doesn't mean you can't use coping strategies you can do by yourself to improve your life!
