One day I will actually get diagnosed - maybe. I'm not sure what this label would do tho, for what purpose. Or if Im truly adhd, or autistic, or have some other unmentionable mental illness that will depress me.
A label feels like an excuse I can blame everything wrong on to account for why I can never seem to cope with anything.
I don't want doctors to solve things by throwing pills at me which may or may not resolve an issue. I've tried that, it's a dangerous path, as the pills might make one thing better and another worse. Pills for anxiety almost ended in suicide for one family member, and did for another.
I feel that I found my creative side way too late, and that I am a talent-less creative, which defeats me. I don't know where to begin. I have creative ideas and no idea how to execute them as I want to, which leads to a huge amount of frustration and self doubt.
I lack self confidence or direction. Plus I'm not ginger. the missing ingredient. will a label help me here? I'm not sure, but I can definitely identify. If you have any wise words. lay them on me.
Oh I'm sorry to hear of your struggles! My advice would be to write all your creative ideas down, brainstorm them and pick 1 idea to develop and concentrate on (if your ADHD lets you)
Pills can help but being given the wrong ones like I have, definitely haven't helped!
im like zipp, im a hypersensitive, and right now im so overwhelmed that I am non functional. i dont even know if thats adhd. or depression.
