So...I recently got diagnosed with combined Adhd. I thought getting evaluated was going to answer some things for me. Now, I feel more lost than ever before. Am I making to big of a deal? When I got help for the childhood trauma that was easier to grasp. This, on the other hand, has me spellbound. Looking for advice 👀

I think if you can navigate childhood trauma, you can get a hold of adhd. I just was recently diagnosed with ptsd due to childhood trauma, and it’s exhausting reliving suppressed memories of the abuse.Your trauma symptoms can be very similar to the issues associated with adhd
