hey @nem - it can be really difficult to get diagnosed, or even just listened to at all sadly:(

i know from my experience, having evidence from professionals for long enough wasn’t enough to even get anywhere!!! though now, i am finally being listened to.

i’m sure you have already done this, but definitely do your research n everything to help support you with being listened to by professionals if you want to look into it further - it helps a lot.

wait lists are also really long too sadly, so even when you are listened to, you’ll have a ridiculously long time to wait!

i hope it works out for you❤️

@nem I got diagnosed privately, which was quicker but is more expensive. You have to think of whether you can pay more not to wait or wait longer not to pay as much honestly
