The day has been a blair lol! It hasn't sunk in yet it just feels like my birthday lol Its been a long slog. I went to bed last night expecting nothing but trying to stay optimistic.. I went with a personal statement & some other evidence that a senior member on here had helped me with. (love you for it you know who you are) I felt terrible, I felt as if I were selling myself it was as if I were going to a job interview instead of going to access a service... Nearly like as if I had to prove myself. Anyhow the psychiatrist was young chap much same generation as myself. He was easy to talk & listened and much laid back. He asked me a couple relevant questions and told him the truth, like why do I think I have Adhd I told him that I have the anxiety disorders and dyslexia. Left school also with no qualifications. Personally at the moment I'm finding it difficult to get employment cause of the nature of my disability. Everyone is looking qualifications and experience. Some of the evidence was from the nhs choices website as well but he had my file there with my previous DX & all the notes going related to it. So it was pretty much a given he lifted the prescription pad and started to write couldn't believe! Even said that himself that the first diagnosis was unfair to DX someone borderline Adhd. So that's that I'm of for a deserved cold beer ? It's took 5 years from getting DX with dyslexia. (private) 3 years and 6months and 2 DX now we are starting to get treated. Thanks to all yous guys it's people like you make this place.. Oh i even went to the dentist in the afternoon and faced one of my biggest anxieties as well today it didn't matter lol Cheers ?
