Could it be ADHD?

I have done the below plus others for as long as I can remember but the symptoms have intensified since I had my second baby 2 years ago.
I’m struggling with how I’m feeling day to day with the over stimulation while looking after my children and constantly feel guilty that I’m letting them down because of the way I am and want to know what to do.
I’ve done some research and feel like I may have adhd, doesn’t anyone have adhd? Could I have it? What should I do?

I see you live in the Uk - If you do decide to try and get a diagnosis go through Right To Choose, it can make the waiting time much much shorter.

When I went for my diagnosis I was seen, had my assessments and given a diagnosis within the year x

Yeah - Do some research on the companies available through Right to choose and find one that you're happy with going through and check what wait time they have (they don't have to be local as most will video call). Once you've found one, go to your GP, they'll do a very very basic questionnaire and then can refer you to the one you want or they might be able to recommend one - it's still free as done through the NHS.

It provided validation and since getting my diagnosis I have started to unmask more but that's still a process x

Yep possibly this is exactly how I am I’m waiting on a diagnosis I got referred a while ago but it’s a long process, I’m sure it’s autism too! Maybe go to the gp but like I said it’s a long process
