I've made a post similar to this before. I have never been taken seriously when I mention to people that I think I may have ADHD. But- no one took me seriously about bipolar, past psychiatrists included- and here I am with a bipolar 1 diagnosis(not 100% sure I agree with the 1)
But it seems no matter what cycle I'm in, manic, depressed, mixed, or normal, I am always in this disorganized chaos. NOTHING in my life is in order, it's awful. It's so anxiety inducing. It has definitely gotten worse with pregnancy. I tell people that pregnancy-brain is my worst symptom. But in truth, it feels like so much more.
My therapist gave me a couple handouts on ADHD. And one of them said to make sure that something else isn't a problem, and it lists mood disorders in that. I don't know why?
I'm sorry if this is scattered... My mind is truly in a fog and I can't keep thoughts straight.
