So I went to my doctor and was like "yeah my counselor said I should ask about the process to get tested for ADHD because of XYZ"...

He then had to gently explain that a year ago he had referred me to a local pysch for testing because I already took the ADHD assessment.

Anyway, long story short, after doing testing (which I showed up for on the wrong day the first time) I got an official ADHD diagnosis.

There are tests? When I wanted to see if ADHD medications would help me, I just told my psychiatrist and he prescribed them. (They help me sleep less and lose weight, but they don't have the intended effects for me.)

I wish I could sleep less and lose weight, instead I take naps with my afternoon pill
