First, I went undiagnosed in any way until my mid-thirties. Until then, I just thought I was a loser.

Then, I was diagnosed with depression, followed some years later with a change to bipolar disorder along with anxiety both social and general.

During all that time I saw a therapist a few times and that was it. I recently saw a psychiatrist who came to the conclusion I have Adult ADHD. I read some of the articles here and I can't believe no one identified this before because the description fits me to a T.

So, it sounds plausible, but now I sound like a case study in disorders: hypo-mania, depression, anxiety, adhd, obsessive compulsive tendancies, and there's probably something I'm forgetting.

Any suggestions about how I can make sense of all this?

I know I need to talk to the doctor about it, but I'm pretty sure my next visit will be occupied by more pressing concerns so I have no idea when we'll have the chance to discuss it.
