Hey all,
I think I have ADD – the inattentive type. But how does diagnosis work? Does your life have to be falling apart at the seams before you get diagnosed? I am just massively disorganised and life admin drains me and takes up ALL of my time and still never gets done properly. I’m hugely forgetful and and have an awful memory. But I am a happily married mother of 2 and a part-time teacher. I get on well at work but I work REALLY hard at staying on top of things and I think I work way harder than my colleagues to achieve the same outcome. I would never go for promotion despite being eligible. I couldn’t cope with the added responsibility/paperwork Please tell me about your diagnosis experiences? I’m trying to work out if I have a case or if I’ll be laughed out of the surgery and told I’m ‘just flakey’.
Thanks, Jill x
