How long does it take to get an ADHD diagnosis?

I get that. I have to have a calendar or I will double book dates or forget appointments or training days or hair cuts. I write in my journal to get more self aware, I’m late to everywhere I go, whether that’s just spending time with friends or it’s something more serious like work, I loose everything, I find it really difficult to focus and do tasks that need to be done. I’m really outgoing, spontaneous and super productive but then sometimes it can feel like a task to talk and do simple things. With university, I can do work but I leave it at the last possible second. Resulting in me needing an extended deadline. My family says if I started sooner then I would get better grades but I can’t physically or emotionally get myself to do it. Then people call me lazy and then I feel bad about myself because I’m not doing enough. Do you relate?

I feel like I already know I have adhd so I kind of know what you mean. What type of symptoms do you get with adhd?

thank you for this message. It’s just I’ve had the referral and now I feel like nothing is happening
