Well, I just finished my first doctor’s appointment broaching the subject of ADHD. Managed to get there on time too! (after losing car keys and cell phone when trying to leave, almost being out of gas, speeding on the QEW and freaking out that it cost $5 to park, but managing to scrape it together out of the bottom of my purse.)
Female dr, which was a nice surprise (more comfortable for me), and she was very open to listening. Next appt in 2 weeks to do some questionnaires. She acknowledged that she’s new to adult adhd too, so will be doing her own research in the next couple weeks. Teaching hospital family practice, so there’s a team of support behind her (and me!)
Overall I feel just relieved to have put someone else in charge. Just the kind of handholding I require to move forward!
Thankful for the support of this forum. Made me feel less alone as I waited (paced) in the waiting room!
