27 diagnosed today and need advice
My whole life has been a struggle that I'm sure most here can understand. Like most of you that I've seen I thought I was just destined for failure. Today I meet with the psychologist and after a 3 hr assessment, I was basically told "how have people missed this your whole life." I felt a relief knowing that I finally had a understanding why my brain works the way it does. I asked her how I can start feeling better. She told me about the behavioral counseling I will get. She told me I will have some further testing before I go see a psychologist to get medicated. She said I could talk to a normal family practice doctor to get on medicine, but she said most docs don't like to give them.
I feel so frustrated to know there is more help out there for me, but that I will have to wait even longer to get it. Every day feels more difficult, and like I'm the end of my rope. I waited 3 months for this appt. I don't think my relationship and job will survive another 3 months without help. I'm just not sure what else I can do at this point. I've been working on the behavioral tips I found online for the last few months, and although they have helped it hasn't been enough.
Please help any advice would be appreciated.
