I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. I already had diagnoses of autism, anxiety and depression. Although I had suspected ADHD, I was shocked as to how high the scores in my report were. I am going to try medication but there is a waiting list for appointments for this.
Since then I have been hyper aware of how much I struggle and am becoming increasingly frustrated by this. As an adult I just feel like I should be more capable than I am. I have a job and for the most part I manage it but the effort that goes into managing this is unreal and no-one understands this. At home I really don't manage well at all.
I haven't yet got to the point where I feel I can be open with people about my diagnoses. I wish I could so that people may understand better but I just don't know how you get yourself to a point of being comfortable with this.
The main things I currently struggle with ADHD wise are keeping on top of housework, maintaining attention/concentration and interrupting others. Any advice for tips to manage any of these things would be most welcome.
Apologies for such a long post. There is a lot in my head right now.

Stick with it m8 and well done for holding down a job. The meds should help you.
