Hi Ladies!
I'm new to this board and thought i would do a quick intro. I'm a semi reg on parenting, I have two DD's ( 5 and 2) and am a SAHM. I was diagnosed with ADHD about 3ish years ago, and shortly there after lost my insurance. So i havnt had much help with either therapy or meds since diagnosis.
I finally got back in therapy this last month and am happy that i have started working on my coping skills. The problem is recently i have been having horrible anxiety. I have an appointment with my doctor in a few weeks, but since a bad experience with my last doctor, i have no idea what to ask her for. I definetly want to start back on some wort of medication to manage my syptoms, but i feel like if walk into this lady's office and say " hi, you just met me but i want to be put on some sort of stimulant medication." she will think im some sort of crazy person. I've actually been having a lot of anxiety about it, and it usually helps if i write down or plan out what i say, but i have no idea where to start? Anyone who has been through this, how did you start the conversation? I know that i can have her call my therapist to confirm i am in her care, but am >< this close to just canceling since i feel like i will just walk in there either break down, or chicken out and say nothing. Sorry if its rambling, but my thoughts on this are all kind of running together.
If you've read this, thank you, i just needed to put this out there. I dont have a whole lot of people i can talk to about this IRL. I hope you ladies are having a great holiday weekend. And i hope to become a more regular poster on here as well.
