I'm sorry to hear your psychiatrist completely shut it down before you could even explain. I'm glad your case manager listened to you though and I hope that you are able to find another provider.

Even though we tend to discourage others from self-diagnosing and that only a professional can diagnose, I do think there should be a caveat for neurodiversity. Personally, I think that if you feel you might have ADHD then it's worth looking for techniques that work for you or talking to others who have ADHD to see what helps them. ADHD-alien is a good resource for relatable comics and tips on how to cope. Sometimes, it's also about letting go of expectations of how you should be and accepting more of who you are. It's not a replacement for medication, I understand, but it can still help a bit while you try to get a diagnosis and potentially medication.
