when you get late diagnosed but no one takes your diagnosis seriously bc you’re an adult and they think i’ve already gotten all the support i need when in reality i never did and im having to play catch up now

I developed elite coping mechanisms that allowed me to function successfully without a diagnosis for a very long time. A therapist specializing in ADHD said she couldn’t help me. Her post session notes were rude & made me look like I was crazy. I was so offended I never sought therapy again. I went to my doctor and said I need addy, she prescribed it no questioned asked. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m out here still self coping b/c addy isn’t getting the job done. I live in executive dysfunction.
