I know what you mean. I got a psychiatrist for my depression and anxiety and I mentioned that I thought I have ADHD (my mother has it and my 6 year old was diagnosed last year which is what led me to believe I have it aswell) and he basically brushed it off and said I am too well functioning. I think it's easy for him to think so when I don't tell him everything. I avoid talking about some things because I know I will end up crying, which I HATE doing in front of someone. It's frustrating because I feel like it's majorly affecting my relationships with my kids, especially my 6 year old. It has caused me to not be able to function in a normal relationship, or feel like I am stupid and a failure.
I hope you can get someone to listen to you, I think we just need to keep trying but I feel like people think I am an attention seeker when that's so far from the truth.
