help with diagnosis- is there any point?

hii, so back in september i (18F) got referred for ADHD to HARROW HEALTH- people said they were good so i chose them. they ended up losing my referral, idk what happened but i called them after 3 months or so, they said they haven’t gotten anything and said that my gp had to re refer me which they did.

now im getting a triage call in july, which sucks bc the whole point of this was to help with my A LEVEL resits.
i’m also getting seen for potential OCD, my thoughts have gotten a lot worse over the years tbh and only just managed to get appointments set for it.

i’m also doing this completely on my own; my parents aren’t really educated on mental health, and ive been in and out of camhs since i was 12. every situation just ended in them pretending it never happened and that was just with anxiety/depression so idek how they’d react to this

but i’ve just seen my notes on my app- whilst i still have the call, they put something about them saying that it’s not the suitable path of action?!? i should look at a different pathway or soemthing. i’m really worried now bc im scared that they’ll just reject all the stuff i’ve been thru. whilst a lot of my problems stem from my mental, i have had stuff in childhood showing development issues ie speech therapy in primary school until the age of 8, i currently ahve extra time. even would suck my thumb until the age of 11, so idk how i can prove this tho apart from the extra time - which is still in place now for my resits- since it’s from ages ago. not to mention my processing skills have always been bad, but have plummeted even more recently.

so idk if it’s worth going though now i really can’t handle another rejection ik it’s sounds stupid but i’m worried that they won’t take me seriously and refer me to discharge. i’m trying everything i can to help myself but it just seems like there’s no point

sex and gender 16 marker

hii, im evaluating sex and gender, and i’m using BEMS BSRI questionnaire as a strength since my ao1 is about gender and sex

but i’m struggling on the explanation. what type of validity would it be? i’m even asking ai because they’re saying it’s construct validity - but i assumed its internal validity bc it proves the theory right? it can’t be external bc it’s not a real life setting - it’s an experiment so i’m really stuck

anyone from the uk please help

pls help i nave no where else to go

the nhs contacted my parents over my ADHD and OCD diagnoses (i’m going through them now)
i specifically said not to contact them. it’s probs my fault since my dads number might be linked to my gp name

but on the bromley talking therapies app i didn’t put their number when self referring i have no contact info for it, just my number and my email.
yet they only contacted my dad?????? not me??????

i am 18 as well, the whole reason i wanted to do this now and not when i was younger was because i don’t need my parents. i’ve been struggling a lot since i was 11/12 i had done multiple attempts because of it - they weren’t massive ones but i did have to get my stomach pumped for one

they don’t believe in mental health, they never have they refuse me to go to a doctor, even tho i live in the UK the culture is massive in my family. when i attempted they would console me the day after but when i want to talk my mum calls me an attention seeker, my dad tries to help but only to an extent. as some point he gets angry bc i dotn want to talk and slams doors.

my suspected ocd is super painful, my intrusive thoughts are 24/7 about sexual thoughts or about harm which make me cry and had panic attack talking about it to my gp. i don’t think it was my gps fault she was really nice and wrote that my parents aren’t involved. if my parents find out about this, i will get into a lot of trouble purity culture is a massive thing in my family, i’ve been hit before because of just talking yo a man(i was kind of with him but i never told him that) also every day since i’m going uni this year told that if i’m pregnant or engage in sex i’m no longer their daughter, i lose all worth. this effects me a lot even in relationships i can’t do certain things

they aren’t abusive and haven’t hit me for a while only when i’ve done something wrong, but if this comes out idk what will happen. i have no friends anymore bc of these issues i had a complete meltdown around a year ago so i have no one else to rely on, my half brother knows abt my adhd referral but he understand i don’t like talking about it, he doesn’t live with me

this has seriously effected my a level resits, i can’t concentrate and am now cramming in the next two weeks for maths. i could have gone uni but i wanted better grades and also to sort this out so i stayed home another year

i deleted all the texts from my dads phone he let me do so, i’m guessing he dooesnt want to overstep. my mum is the opposite tho, mocking me when i’m crying etc i’m really self conscious about the way i look when crying to i was screaming at them telling them to not get involved either my business. i’m now locked up in my room i’m too scared to talk they wont talk to me either

**since i missed my calls about my referral is my place gone, i really neeed help asap with diagnoses and i’m scared about how my family’s reacting now!!!!!!**

sociology

anyone know any high yield topics in AQA sociology? i only want a B so idk

i’m doing media and households for options brw bc icba to cram entirety of beliefs as i’m doing it privately.

also kinda confused on exam structure, some say in 30 markers you use an intro but some say no bc there’s no point. i know there’s always a conclusion, and is 4 paragraphs enough for 30?
