I’m 23F and I honestly just really need someone to talk to right now. I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for today, and I even left work early for it because I was planning to finally bring up my mental health struggles and possible ADHD symptoms. Then this morning they canceled it.

I know it probably sounds small to some people, but it completely crushed me. I’ve been struggling so hard lately with overwhelm, lateness, forgetfulness, mental exhaustion, zoning out, and feeling like basic life tasks are harder for me than they should be. I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD, but I really think something is wrong, and I was hoping this appointment would finally be the start of getting help.

Now I just feel hopeless and stuck. I’m constantly overwhelmed, constantly behind, and trying so hard to keep functioning. I’m exhausted from feeling like I’m fighting my own brain every day.

I also don’t really have anyone I can talk to right now, which is making tonight feel even worse. I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if I’m just burnt out, but I feel really emotionally overwhelmed and alone.

What do I do when it feels like getting help keeps getting delayed? How do you keep yourself together when you already feel like you’re barely hanging on?

Even if someone just talks to me for a minute, I’d appreciate it.
