Diagnosis in progress

Hi everyone! In 10 days I have my first appointment to get a diagnosis on ADHD - And I’m getting nervous. I’m scared they will tell me off and not diagnose me with ADHD. But since finding out about adult adhd every question I ever had and every struggle I had as a kid or still have, has made sense. Dad is supportive, Mom not so much (but tbh while learning more about adhd i started to understand my mother’s behaviour more and more - i guess she could have it as well). Well anyways, just nervous over here and procrastinating by scrolling through the app!😬 is there anyone who can relate?

I was like this too when in the process of getting diagnosed as an adult. I was scared that my answers wouldn’t be enough to diagnose me & that they were gonna say I don’t have it cause I’ve managed to cope/find routine that helps me in my daily life. I went thru a lot of testing & given verbal+ handwritten questions. - it literally took me 3 days to complete the written document cause distractions & I drew on the papers 🤣 fast forward I got diagnosed at 22 & I’m now 24 medicated. It’s funny because reading my diagnosis, my psych diagnosed things I wasn’t even aware of during my consult. Conclusion: There’s nothing to worry about, if you do present with ADHD, I promise you ur psychiatrist will know. 😆 I wish you the best outcome for you appointment 😊
