whats adhd plus and where can i get the upgrade
When I was diagnosed my therapist told me I have āADHD plusā which meant to him ADHD and comorbid Depression. I donāt know if itās an official term but I liked it better than āADHD and Depressionā.
To sum it up: I guess you donāt want the upgrade. ;) If youāre still interested in Depressionā¢, Anxietyā¢ or any other comorbid disorders, just donāt cope with your symptoms and get yourself a non-accepting environment.
The best advice canāt help you if youāre not ready.

Wie hast du deine Diagnostik bekommen (Privat/Versicherungen) ? Wie lange hat es gedauert?
Ich weiĆ, dass die Frage eigentlich an mich gerichtet war, aber da sich sowas im Einzelfall sehr unterscheiden kann, versuche ich mƶglichst generell zu antworten.
Die Diagnostik zahlt sowohl die Krankenkasse (GKV) als auch die PKV (AuĆer wenn man bei der privaten Versicherung psychotherapeutische Leistungen von vornherein im Tarif ausgeschlossen hat).
Die lƤngste Wartezeit ist tatsƤchlich bis man Ć¼berhaupt einen freien Platz in einer Klinik oder bei einem Therapeuten zur Diagnostik bekommt. Wenn es sich nicht um einen Notfall handelt kann das manchmal Monate (!) dauern. Im Zweifelsfall wĆ¼rde ich empfehlen zuerst zum Hausarzt zu gehen, der kann eine Ćberweisung schreiben, was das Ganze beschleunigt. Dann kommt die Dauer der Diagnostik auf die Einzelperson und den Therapeuten an. Wie oft bekommt man einen Termin, wieviele Tests mĆ¼ssen gemacht werden, wie kompliziert ist die Symptomatik (Komorbide Stƶrungen etc.). Bei ADHS ist das in der Regel nicht mit einer Sitzung getan sondern es braucht einige Termine, ich wĆ¼rde mich da auf zwei Wochen bis einen Monat einstellen.
Deswegen meine Rat: Am besten so frĆ¼h wie mƶglich an einen Therapeuten oder eine Klinik wenden! Gerade jetzt mit Corona ist es schwer aufgenommen zu werden.
I will now refer to my Adhd+anxiety as the Buy 1 Get 1 bargain bonus at my local supermarket's sale. You have broadened my horizons
Nice, youāre welcome!

ADHD Plus or should I say ... ADHD Gold...
Or ADHD Platinum š
ADHD+ASD+anxiety/depression
Can we please get this terminology into the next DSM?
This! I'm such an over sharer
Oh my :D
Hi! Apparently youāre german just like me. Itās been three years now that Iāve been suspecting myself to have ADHD and I must say it is causing major problems and I am not sure how to consult a therapist. Also Iām just 18 and if I go to a psychiatrist for diagnosing Iām afraid my parents will find out before I am ready to tell them anything. Could you give me advice? Oh and if itās not ADHD then Iām pretty sure that itās something else, so I should actually definitely consult a therapist.
Hi :)
First of all if youāre 18 you donāt have to worry about a psychiatrist telling your parents anything. In Germany you are legally an adult and without your consent doctors (and therapists) canāt tell anyone anything. Especially considering the new data protection regulations. The only problem might be, if youāre still living together with your family, that they could find a doctorās letter (youāll typically get one, after your diagnosis is finished). But Iām hoping that they respect your privacy and wonāt open it.
Just do a little research and call psychiatrists and therapists in you area. Also think about psychiatric wards, because they are specialists and very good for a diagnosis.
But since Iām actually getting many asks on that topic (āI think I might have ADHD, how do I consult a psychiatrist without my parents finding outā) here are some general thoughts on that:
I know that itās very hard to speak with your parents about mental health stuff. They might worry about you, they might not believe you (at first), etc.. But as long as they are not abusive, Iād still recommend to do it. Remember: Jour mental health ājourneyā is hard for them too.
If you still absolutely donāt want your parents to find out and your minor there are - depending on where youāre from - ways to get diagnosed. Iād recommend speaking to your school psychologyst (if you have one): You donāt have to make an appointment anywhere else and he/she might help you and will give you professional advice (unlike me).
Nevertheless itās problematic: you canāt get a prescription for meds without their consent. If youāre at risk (for example suicidal) they are obligated to tell your parents. Which could cause you to not tell the professional about it.
So, if your parents are abusive and you have mental health issues but you ācanāt seek helpā. GO TO A PROFESSIONAL. Ask for help. You donāt need to stay with them. In Germany there are opportunities for minors (assisted living etc.) where youāre supported while you finish school/your education and can get all the medical help that you need.
So I was trying to sleep and then a song popped into my head. I only knew a few words and it kept replaying even though I just wanted to sleep. Is that an Adhd thing or...?
TLDR: No, itās not an ADHD thing but it could be a symptom of OCD.
So, earworms are actually pretty common. 98% percent of the western population experience one at least once. However itās not an ADHD thing, according to current research.
What I didnāt know but found out, researching this topic: Unwanted, reoccurring and intrusive earworms (āstuck song syndromeā) are apparently related to OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). So, if this happens frequently and bothers you, I would speak to a therapist about it.

Me: *is in a hurry for an important work appointment*
Also me: *searches car keys at the exact place where I put it five seconds ago*
The place:
Lmfao Iāve literally gone into a store for a while hour and got back to my car only to realize that I didnāt have my car keys. Do you known where they were? On the driverās seat. So Iāll locked out of my car with cold groceries. I had to call my mom to bring me the spare key.
Guess what happened a second time? Except I came prepared. I had the spare key in my wallet and now Iāll never be stuck without a key š
What I like so much about that reblog is that it reminds me of an important idea: We need to find (sometimes unusual) ways to cope with our symptoms rather than just letting them control us. :)
Please share/reblog
I say this for all people to know that itās okay.
Thereās a lot going on, all over the world, and itās scary. I know it is. You know it is. Everyone knows it is.
You are allowed to be concerned and confused and worried and mindful and respectful of everything going on. Youāre allowed to care about more than one thing.
But please remember that you are important too.
As someone with Anxiety and ADHD who experiences hyper-empathy, I understand how much this can weigh on your shoulders. You can feel guilty for not caring enough, you can feel frozen and like you canāt do anything. You can end up beating yourself up for any number of things. You can feel like youāre not allowed to have certain views or opinions for all sorts of reasons. I know this.
But please, please donāt let this stop you from caring. Remember that you are allowed to worry, and it doesnāt have to be to the point of stress. I know thatās not easy for a lot of people. Itās not easy for me. But donāt let anybody tell you that you arenāt doing enough or that what pure doing is wrong. If anyone tries to tell you that youāre not caring enough, donāt listen. You do as much as you can, okay? Please take care of yourself.
I know itās scary, and you have a lot on your mind, but you donāt have to let it drag you into the depths. If you need to rake a step back from the news, thatās totally okay. Care for yourself too. The world will appreciate your help if you can help, but if you spread goodness and awareness, and you canāt donate easily, you are doing enough.
Be mindful and respectful, and share what you can. Make your support clear. But beyond that, if you canāt do anything else, for any reason, (this can be any internal or external reason, no gatekeeping here) itās okay. Itās enough. You shouldnāt have to be in such pain like this. I know nobody should be, but itās okay to take a step back. Itās not selfish, itās self-care.
To anyone who might need this.
Update
I know I didnāt post for the longest time and my inbox is blowing up, but I had some t o u g h months (didnāt we all?) and didnāt spend any time on this app at all.

i think i have adhd because i relate to everything so much it hurts. if i did it would explain a lot about me and my life so far. but my parents basically don't think im hyper enough to have it and idk what to do im really struggling but they don't know any of it cause i don't really show it, so now they don't believe me
Many of my ADHD-friends had similar problems with their parents. What contributes to problem is that the majority of our society is misinformed about ADHD and itās symptoms. It even starts with the name itself and the cliches spreaded by the media for sure donāt help.
You could try talking to your parents and explain them what ADHD really is and that you donāt have to be āhyperā to have it. Mabe buy a referent-book or print out an article from a credible source (I can suggest some, if you want) and give it to them. You could also just tell them that since youāre struggling you need professional help to find the cause. It might be ADHD but it could be something else and you want to find out what it is. A professional will find out if youāre really completely āhealthyā/āneurotypicalā.
If that doesnāt help, just make an appointment with a psychiatrist/therapist (depending on your age and the country you live in) you donāt need your parentās approval.
There is so much chaos in my life right now. I feel like drowning even though I know how to swim.
Ok nevermind I finally sat down and organized my appointments and tasks.
