ADHD memes was how I realised I probably have ADHD and am probably bipolar.
Just on waiting lists to get a proper psych analysis and hopefully some meds.
My biggest fear is they go "nah, your fine", and I then have to deal with the fact that life is shit and that I am actually a lazy pos.

If you're worried about being a lazy pos, then you probably aren't. If things are going wrong enough for you to seek out a professional analysis, I truly believe that any pysch specialist worth having will try to figure out why you're feeling the way you are. Even if they rule out ADHD, they could recognize something else is going on and get you treated that way. I hope that's of some consolation; good luck Internet stranger!

Thanks.
That's super reassuring and affirming.
I guess coming to the conclusion I probably have ADHD and/or bipolar has made me tunnel vision on a black/white result for that. As opposed to, the professional is going to try and help me.

How did it go?

[–] towerful@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow. Thanks for checking in!
Apparently I don't meet the criteria based on the forms I filled in and stuff, but I'm working on getting a 2nd opinion with someone that will hopefully help me through the process.
I think I'm still coming to terms with it, and identifying the things I have issues with in a way that I can explain them. Instead of panicking and my mind going blank.
So... Work in progress? I guess

Good luck in there! It's a more complicated journey than it should be.
