Hi @Taylor-RO yeah it was an interesting appointment! He had quite a serious and blunt manner so I didn't really get any reassurance from him but the most important thing is the diagnosis and treatment plan. And it is so important to me knowing that I now have a specialist involved in the medical side of my mental health care. It makes me feel like I'm not just stumbling through in the dark trying to make sense of it all. I have a review appointment with him in a few weeks so I think I will be okay until then. It is not the easiest though. I suppose it all feels very sudden. my psych only suggested ADHD to me less than a month ago and now I have a diagnosis and all my medications are getting changed around and it's overwhelming. I feel a bit down. As part of all this, I have to stop the antidepressant I was taking, so that is having an effect on my mood as well. Do you have any tips on being gentle and looking after myself right now? I have trouble thinking of something specific I can do.
Haha, I thought maybe the med was helping me focus on my game but so far I don't feel more focused when it comes to anything else 😂 I have been playing 'genshin impact' and it's perfect for ADHD people because on your way to complete a quest, you can accidentally find a bunch of other quests to do, and forget what you were doing in the first place! Just like my real life 😛
