Struggling with ADHD and OCD since childhood

Hello, I'm new to this. As a kid I was diagnosed with ADHD, but my family saw it as the school was calling me stupid and had another psychiatrist say I didn't have it. after multiple test of being told I had ADHD, the school went with the one who said I didn't have it. Now I'm 23 and I got diagnosed again. ADHD really made my OCD worse. I kept getting so many thoughts a second about bad things happening if I didn't do the compulsion. I thought I was crazy for most of my childhood until one day I looked up my symptoms. I found out that I'm not crazy, but I was actually suffering from a disorder that can be helped
