I’ve been worrying about this for a very long time.

I’ve been suspecting that I may have ADD.

-I have a very hard time sitting through a conversation without being distracted or interrupting someone.

-I forget why I walk into a room or why I opened google.

- I’m always cluttered.

-loud noises can be over stimulating for me

-I’m always caught being zoned out.

-and many more things

But I’m a 28 years old mom of 3 and a wife. I’m afraid to ask my doctor for a specialty referral to get a diagnosis because I’m afraid of being judged and I don’t like sitting and talking with people cause it makes me uncomfortable and feel inferior. I’m mostly afraid of what people will think of my parenting IF I’m diagnosed.

My parents were always a bit neglectful when it came to taking us to the dr when we should have, so I never know what to say or when I should even be seen.

I guess I’m just asking for advice or some sort of reassurance. I know I should get an assessment so I have the power of knowing for sure but I can’t get over the fear of judgment hurdle.

Help!

What do I even say to my doctor?
