Essentially I've always had issues with memory, attention, fatigue, insomnia and social interaction growing up. I've been told by teachers to see a doc for ADHD but my parents never bothered. I'm an adult now and done some psychoanalysis a couple months back and realized that some of the ways I think and behave might be as a consequence of childhood issues/trauma.

Anyway, my main concern is my education since I have screwed it up so many times and this is my last chance. I've been seeing several GP's and been referred to IAPT 3 times and discharged twice since they say they primarily work with depression and anxiety.

I've kinda been left in the wind, they just said talk to your school and call up mind.org.uk. I honestly think I would respond really well to CBT (which is what they offered me initially) for anxiety, but discharged me as I don't think I have depression and don't think all of my issues stem from anxiety (though it still seems to be present in all aspects of life)

I don't think I can refer myself to IAPT again and the last time I spoke to my GP he essentially dismissed me and said everyone has some issues.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I honestly think there is an issue here related to anxiety and/or ADHD, I just want to speak to a professional but its so hard and I'm quickly falling behind at school (even though I try so hard every day) which is making me progressively unhappy.

Edit: Thanks guys for all the support, I don't feel as crazy and I'm more confident in seeking help :)
