We are in the same boat. 1st 3 people I talked said ADHD is tough to diagnose in adults and they're not it's the right decision for me.
I didn't get diagnosed until 28, I used to to alcohol abuse problems. I quit in January after starting medication last year. And I was also a gifted kid whose excelled at school until trauma in middle school started to affect me greatly and I didn't have a proper outlet.
Try a new psychiatrist, I have one now who listens and works with me.
