Here's how I got my ADHD diagnosis, aged 36, and what it means for me

After several years and a misdiagnosis, I finally went through Psychiatry UK with the right to choose to get a diagnosis

I have been procrastinating for an hour and half with this newsletter by fiddling with all the bits at the bottom first rather than just write what I want to write. The thing is I have been wanting to write about this for a few weeks now. I wanted to wait until I had told all my best friends but it’s Mental Health Awareness Week and so it feels fitting to write about it now and besides, I have struggled to find the words to tell those nearest and dearest to me but somehow writing to people who don’t know me in person is easier. Go figure! I also thought about doing a Medium post but in the end I have decided I would rather tell you guys first.

So here goes. Buckle in, this is a long one!
