This is my second post in an hour, I have a lot of thoughts today... I’m really starting to struggle whilst waiting for an assessment. I have a very addictive personality and have managed to get hooked on many things between the age of 15/16 and now (29). At the moment I can’t seem to control myself with anything and I have picked up a few of my old habits. I’ve always used these things as a way to sort of self medicate whatever has gone on in my life but now one thing isn’t enough so it lead to 2 then 3 etc.. Now I’m stuck doing all of these bad habits I just can’t have a clear head, well it’s not clear I suppose that’s the problem there’s too much in my head so I feel a lot better when for example I have a drink. It blocks a lot of the bad out or makes me care less about some of the bad. So it kind of clears my brain a bit and I actually function a bit better. Anyway I’m kind of stuck in this horrible routine of needing to blank things out and my life seems to be on hold (as always) waiting for my assessment. Can anyone tell me about they’re struggles of being undiagnosed and if you’ve got any help from anywhere or anything.

Hi!
You can presume you have ADHD and read up on coping strategies which work for you.
If there's a support group in your area, they can be really helpful and they won't mind that you're undiagnosed
and will understand your self-medication etc
