    Two psychiatrists have told me that I almost certainly have ADHD but “we don’t prescribe controlled substances” so they weren’t going to formally diagnose me. It seems the only place I can get a diagnosis as an adult is private specialty clinics. I’m poor and the two clinics in my area aren’t sliding scale (which I can’t afford for most clinics anyway) so I just get to sit here with a confirmation of what I’ve known for years and no way to get it treated, or at the very least, put down on paper
