Asking as I see more and more people talking about mental health issues, and curious to see if people could share their experiences.

    Somewhat, while the therapy itself was only moderately helpful it did give me cause to get diagnosed with adhd and a depressive episode.

    Having that diagnosis has been a big relief, knowing that it’s not me who can’t deal with the demands of real life, but an actual disorder that impairs my ability to function in that way. I’ve also been prescribed appropriate medication, in time I will know if that helps.

      I’ve also just been diagnosed with ADHD as a 31 year old, partly because of talking to my therapist and it giving me the confidence to follow through on forcing a diagnosis. I’ve just finished my tritration for Concerts XL and it’s helping a lot, but now I need to unlearn a lifetime of bad habits that I used to manage it.
