I tried getting help a few years ago. I had been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD as a kid. Did some online assesments etc… looked at my life and really wanted to make some progress for a change. Went through an agency at my local hospital to get a referal. Once I got to the Doctor all he did was prescribe me medication and send me on my way. I took the meds hoping it would change things. I had no expectation that it would fix everything but hoped I would see some sort of progress proving I was on the right track.

Turns out the medication wasn’t for ADHD. He had diagnosed me as being clinicly depressed. I found out by going online and researching what the medication was for when it didn’t seem to be changing anything, well at least nothing usefull. Instead of getting a sense of mental clarity I felt emotionally dead.

I have a hard time working through a preset plan but was hoping I could get some advice on what to do so I get somewhere with this.
