Where do I start?

Good morning everyone, I've always had issues remembering important details or things coming up, also when I get "bored" or uninterested I often completely zone out and my minds starts thinking about other things. Focusing is very demanding for me but I have never been diagnosed with an attention deficit disorder. Where did you start? Should I go directly to a psychiatrist or start with a psychologist? PS I'm 39, I have a child and wife.

Hello 😊

Nice to meet you.

It might be very helpful to keep a journal for a week, with everything you feel you are struggling with.

Make an appointment with your doctor.

Discuss this.

Show them the journal and ask whatever questions you need and ask for a referral to the best services first 💚

Genuinely good luck !

You’re definitely not alone with this feeling. It’s like you’re telling my story five years ago. I had the trouble before, but it got really intense while I was in school.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and PTSd and anxiety, it took me a 2 years to say out loud. There are a lot of techniques I applied and update every 6 months because like you I get bored too. It’s extremely annoying, but once that lightbulb turns on and the focus is laser sharp it’s incredible feeling.

Keep riding the wave and thank you for sharing. You reminded me that I’m not alone and I won’t call the unalive hotline tonight . Thx!
