For me, I felt that cbt was pointless, as I was very skeptical that a waffle exchange would really change anything. I know how I should behave, how I should do things, I know what I do wrong, but it just seem to be part of me.
CBT, of course, allows you to vent and share and there is always a possibility of something useful which is why I went to every appointment.. Anything learned about the processes, is a benefit that can be shared to help others.
On my second psychotherapy appointment, I managed to convince (with my dossier of info) him to write a letter to my doc stating that I should go for an adult adhd referral before anything else..
The dossier contained, posts from this site, personality disorder research to rule other things out, discussion about ruling out hypothyroid issues or even hyperthyroid, sleep disorders, etc With the fact that I had done plenty of research and explaining myself clearly (hyperfocus and pure determination to get my point across as desperation) he agreed that I could have ad/hd and I shoud go for referral.
Also, there is another benefit to CBT and other techniques in that you spend 50 mins with them instead of 5 mins with a rushed deadline doctor......

Hi today went well, last night i started writing down everything i wanted to say at cbt, i tried to structure it but just ended up writing what was in my head in the end it took me 2 hrs and was 9 pages long, i just couldn't stop writing! it ended ' but the shopping trolleys are really fun to play with' as id got onto the topic of supermarket shopping. i took this along with some poems from my teenage years and the symtoms tp try and explain to him what was going on in my head. needless to say he looked a bit shocked when i pulled out this wad of paper but was very paitient and undersatnding, read everything i wrote and agreed i should get a refferal from the doctor. he does not know much on the subject of adhd so i was educating him today! so no referal but ive got a gp appointment on wednesday. i am also finding im being a bit more patient with my self. i thought i was having a nervous breakdown yesterday with no sleep too much thinking, crying one min happy the next ect, so im taking the weekend off work, sent my son to his dads and intewnd on clearing my head and having some me time. i also have raided my mums loft and found old school work and reports, very colourful work with an obvious interest in drawing, but littered with spelling mistakes, half finished and the reports all say must try harder, stop making simple mistakes, ask for help, input more to disscusions ect so im going to fight for a diagnosis, once i set my mind to thigs i have to do it even if nothing else gets done, oops what shall i say when i go to the gp? thanks agian for everyones info and support Laura
