ADHD and Social anxiety disorder

[69mustang]

I have ADHD and social anxiety disorder.I guess one of them is born from another.I ve been dealing with my SAD so far but lately I’ve been realizing ADHD symptoms and how it affected my life so far.I dont have much friend so must of the time I’m alone.I always afraid what other people think of me since my childhood so it affects what I am gonna say do behave think.and I have this adhd which is really making me struggle with how my brain works on every area of my life.I can’t afford psychologist financially and I’m looking for another sources I may get some help and support.I can’t do too much just by myself and I need support.If there is anybody who suffered from these and overcame I am here to meet people learn somethings that I dont know and need to learn to make my life better and find some support.Thank you ❤️

I remember reading about some kind of supplement that has the same effects as stimulants for ADHD, but can’t remember the name of it.

Sorry, hope this helps

Can you call/contact the different hospitals and psychiatrists to find out prices and if there is a reduced fee for ADHD testing, therapy, medication and services? If you already have a test from when you were younger maybe they don’t need to test you again.

Therapy, medicine, support groups (in person or online), podcasts, YouYube and books about ADHD and how to manage it.

welcome! I have general anxiety and adhd! My previous docs wanted to treat the anxiety before the adhd but I’m realizing the meds for adhd is helping my anxiety because it allows me to not brood as much.

I also realize that my anxiety with face to face socialization is a lot worse than virtual or by text. It allows me to think about how to handle things without as much fear of social mistakes. Totally feel free to vent here!

Hi, I feel you and so wish there was more affordable treatment options in the states. I found that Eskaloft by Nutra Biogenesis and Focus Organic Mushroom blend by Four Sigmatic are helpful OTC alternatives to medication.
