I was in that place when I asked my gp for a referral and by the time I'd heard back my adhd had settled down a lot, to the point where I wasn't in such need of treatment. Knowing if it does flare up again I can see someone quickly is also very reassuring. I'd check landsharkkidd's option first though, saving 1200 dolareedoos...

I'm at some stage this year going to look at coping mechanisms. Also definitely going to look at going to that SE clinic mentioned above, as I might also be on the autism spectrum but 2 grand is not really something I want to fork out when neither of my potential neurodivergences are really getting in the way of living a good life at the moment and I'm dealing with being in the early stages of transition and that definitely has had impact on mental health in unexpected ways.
