Recently diagnosed

Hi there, I was diagnosed with combined type on Wednesday at 36 years old. My lifes been pretty difficult at times, I haven’t really achieved anything because I’ve always struggled in the education setting and never understood why. Issues at school, multiple relationships ruined, job skipping or not working at all, emotionally unstable, anger outbursts, major road rage and problems sleeping. During my working life and personal I’ve had people ask me “are you thick” and I started to believe I actually was, that was a dent in my confidence. Now I’ve been diagnosed it has gave me so much clarity and i no longer consider myself thick, I’ve felt very emotional since Wednesday though because past experiences keep rushing round my head which then makes me angry and upset. This has slipped through the cracks all my life, and i just wonder now if i should feel angry and upset or happy that i have answers. The consultant also said at the end he feels there is strong reason to explore autism so he has booked me in, what a whirlwind. I just wanted to know how others get by with ADHD, its new to me, it was randomly mentioned to me by a nurse last year so i looked into it and nothing had ever made so much sense. I’m going on a bit now, i could keep going but i’ll leave it there. All the love
