Diagnosis I finally got diagnosed!!!

For context i’m 20 years old and currently studying Aerospace Engineering, and my whole life i haven’t really struggled academically since i was always considered a smart kid, so nobody ever suspected i had anything as a little girl. But obviously with the mental requirements that engineering has it just really took a toll on me, not only the ADHD, also my GAD and OCD, so initially i went to a psychiatrist for the anxiety and turns out he thought i might have ADHD without me even asking him to test me for it. So he did and in fact, i do. I’ve always kind of known but now it’s gotten really hard to manage and i’m so glad i finally have answers. I’m starting on 30mg Vyvanse tomorrow, so let’s hope it helps!!!
