Hiya

I can really relate to what you’re saying. I was a first class student too. I lost my dissertation and spent a very scary night thnking it was gone for ever. I finished one point away from a first after failing a section that involved working with other people, none of whom liked me and refused to meet up with me. The tutors couldn’t care less and just failed me on it.

I have had trouble findinng help here. Have a look at aadduk. http://aadduk.org/ There’s a section on professionals who declare in interest in adult add. I paid privately to see someone and it was very helpful, but then there was a several month waiting list on the NHS to get help – and I’m still waiting because so few practitioners will prescribe meds. (They’re not licensed for adults apart from one med. I forget which one. STarts with an M I think.)

Rushing, but wanted to say hi and you’re not alone.
