So recently, I updated everyone that I had been diagnosed with both bipolar disorder II and ADHD. I have been working with my psychiatrist and therapist to manage it, as well as being on a regular medication schedule. I completely agree with my psychiatrist that these are and have been the source of my problems all along. Once I started the medication for ADHD in conjunction with my other bipolar disorder medications, I have never felt better. However, for some reason, the ADHD diagnosis made me nervous, and I found it MUCH more difficult to tell my family and friends about it. I am definitely still learning a lot about myself and how to best care for myself and self-regulate, but I still have this irking feeling that I am being judged by those I’ve told. Does that make sense? I don’t know really anymore how to get over that feeling.
