Does anyone deal with (suspected or diagnosed) comorbid anxiety and/or depression? How did you broach the conversation with your psych?

You should feel comfortable enough with your Psyche to bring this up. I’m more concerned that you don’t. Have you considered switching.

If that’s not an option, maybe ask a question about it and have them explain it to you.

While you’re on the subject, maybe you can say that you believe you feel that way sometimes. That should lead your psyche to investigate more or dig deeper into what you may be experiencing.

I know how you feel. I just stopped seeing mine while I look for another one. I don’t recommend that, btw. I’m in a very good place. Good luck.

I haven’t had a psych since college, and even then I only saw him once a term and we didn’t really have a relationship. Back then I hadn’t come to terms with mental illness as a driver of what I was feeling (mostly just thought I was a shit person and/or making it up...) and had only just been diagnosed with ADHD (at age 20). I had a great relationship with my SAS coach, but she didn’t seem like the right person to raise those concerns to, and at that point I wasn’t really open to opening up about it and thought I could just power through.

I’m considering starting therapy after about a decade of struggling, and plan to open up the conversation with my ADHD related concerns. I don’t want to make the same mistake I made last time (managed my ADHD really well but allowed everything else to fall to shambles), so trying to figure out how to approach that conversation. Since I’ve also never really done therapy, not sure what to expect in general.

Look into Cognitive behavioral therapy

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
