Hey @lemurien its so nice to read that chatting with @Iona_RO helped yesterday. It must have felt great to get that burst of strength to get through some chores. It sounds like it was a relief to chat with someone who relates to your experience as someone with adhd and other diagnoses. Do you have any neurodivergent friends or family members?
Some of the best ADHD hacks, advice and conversations, in general, I've had are with other neurodivergent people 😊
You mentioned feeling a mix of relief/ long wait being over and some nerves about what to expect in your psych appointment - which is so understandable. Especially when you've waited so long for an appointment, the build-up alone can make the whole experience more stressful.
I'm not sure if this is something you'd be interested in, but ADHD Australia has a page with a list of all the support groups around the country here.
It sounds like you're feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment - with the merry-go-round of strategies, navigating high expectations of yourself and sadness. It's a lot to manage, and I just wanted to acknowledge how much energy it takes to juggle all of that.
It's so nice to read that you want to think of ways to cultivate pride. What did you think of @Iona_RO suggestion to start with a list of things you're proud of yourself for?
