I'm 24f, diagnosed at 22 with post partum depression and GAD, saw a counsellor and psych and wanted to focus on psychological intervention and behavioural correction.

I mentioned the possibility of starting meds after my second kid, if post partum got bad again.

Now I'm 24f , 7 months post partum and it's rough, really rough.

Mood swings, typical ADHD symptoms on high, bad depression, high anxiety- constantly thinking something bad is going to happen and everyone hates me, you know the really high highs, really low lows

Anyways , the previous service I went too and was diagnosed at said to come back after baby was born ( as you can come back for free until the first child is 5)

So I did that, got rejected , so we tried two other services to begin meds. Got rejected for capacity or not specialising in ADHD.

Everything in my life is fantastic can't complain, almost finished my degree , have a loving little family, have supports, house over my head, exercise, eat really good but my brain is fucked hence why I'm trying to seek more than psychological intervention.

I have the diagnosis all I need is someone to give me the clear so my GP can prescribe stimulants cos with out it, I can't begin

Super super frustrating, found my old psych but the wait period is 6 MONTHS and like $1k ...

So can anyone help? Any advice ?

I'm from South East melb.

Hi I'm 24f, two kids ( 6 months pp), engaged

I work 2 jobs, study (almost finished ) and have a great support network and feel safe and secure in everything and everyone I'm around, things are really good

I study community service, mental health and aod & have begun work.

My question(s),

How did you accept the diagnosis? I also have a GAD diagnosis

How do you regulate memory loss, in attentiveness and hyperactivity WITHOUT medication?

How do you tackle feeling happy or idk that weird empty feeling that doesn't piss off haha, Is this the true feeling of ADHD and do I accept this as it is? Or is it something underlying ?

I'm genuinely happy, I have routine, stability and goals. I function through this but I just can't grasp these few things as I genuinely cannot control it happening.

I have a recent diagnosis from after my first born ( 2 years ago) and did therapy, behaviour correction etc, but I'm just curious.

I speak to other people and it seems they are on the same journey. I'm wondering if anyone has just anything to say.

I've begun my journey and I'm learning about these diagnoses alongside practical knowledge from my field.

Thanks ✨
