No idea what to do with myself - Beehaw
Went to speak with my GP a number of months ago regarding my troubles with
executive dysfunction, time management, and task completion, as well as
impulsivity. They referred me to xyla for an ADHD assessment Went through the
assessment process, awaited results Went to speak to a different GP who has more
specialised focus on mental health issues. Explained my issues to her without
even alluding to ADHD and she immediately clocked me as being likely to be ADHD.
Said basically all the troubles (extending beyond the ones I mentioned here,
too) would be at least partly explained by ADHD and getting treated for such
would help me. She said we’ll wait for the diagnosis Got the results back today
and despite showing high significance on the pre-assessment and the actual
assessment, my family informant did not. (I don’t feel like any of my family has
any idea what my childhood was like for me because whenever I talk about my
experiences they tell me “oh I dont remember that, you were always xyz”). So, no
ADHD diagnosis. I just don’t know what to do with myself. I’m just sitting here
spiralling because as far as they can suggest, all my issues are just because
I’m failing to apply myself or some shit. I’m just a failure, not
neurodivergent. I pushed back against their conclusion and they said I can go
for a second opinion, but they didn’t give me any like… Tools or resources.
Like, okay if you don’t think its ADHD and you just think I am just like this,
what do I do about it. How do I get help. Help me. Please god fucking help me.

Many a times, at least from my socio-economic place, a No must be an ANGRY No. Anger Phobia makes us even more unsafe. To never have to be angry is a PRIVILEGE!

I wrote about my experience as a German child in Italy, where a lack of pedagogical tools transformed a history lesson into a process of scapegoating. It’s a story about the intersection of trauma, semantic errors, and the invisible struggle of the twice-exceptional mind.
