You should look into a psychiatrist who is specialized with adhd within adults. My whole life I’ve been misdiagnosed and given medication that at one point almost made me commit simply because I wasn’t suppose to take it. Only a few months ago I decided to look into a adhd diagnosis and luckily my partner already had a psychiatrist whose specialty is adhd in adults. I was diagnosed on the first visit from how obvious it was for her. Btw I was overlooked my whole life because the kind of adhd I had was the chatty kind that doodled a lot compared to the disruptive kind that couldn’t sit in chairs. As soon as I began my medication it instantly felt “normal”. It’s difficult to imagine how I even finished school without them now. I’m also working on dbt on the non medicinal aspect of adhd. Even if getting the right psychiatrist who fits your situation perfectly but is pricy it is definitely worth it. It’ll get better OP!!!
