Wow, thank you so much, CinnamonSuagr! It's so frustrating because I have extremely dismissive parents so nobody ever took it seriously. Thank you so much for the explanation and link, I can't wait to read up on it and learn more! I definitely am looking into hopefully getting diagnosed this year!

I'm 99% sure I have ADHD, but my psychiatrist brushes my hunch off because I have a specific mood disorder that shares *some* symptoms with ADHD. I also show signs not shared by the mood disorder, so I wish she'd just give me a diagnosis or at least a test. I have sensory issues, can't sit still, I'm very forgetful, etc. 
Unfortunately, even if I am diagnosed, I can't take anything for it because ADHD pills are excitatory medication, while I need inhibitory for my other mental health issues, so they'd mess with each other.
The struggle is real :c

Ximbitch, it can be hard to get an ADHD diagnosis. I think we had a similar discussion a few pages back. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult after years of seeing different psychiatrists, receiving different diagnoses, & being on literally over 30 medications without success. Because, yes, symptoms of ADHD, like restlessness, are also symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc.  My skin-picking was labelled as "OCD" by some & "self-harm" by others. In the context of ADHD, skin-picking is stimming. Different psychiatrists are going to interpret symptoms differently. If you have the ability to see another provider (which I know can be hard), it might be worth getting a second opinion.

As far as medications go, some people take both ADHD medications & "inhibitory" meds (sedatives, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers)..
For example, ADHD & anxiety are pretty common co-morbidities, so taking both a stimulant for ADHD & an anxiolytic for anxiety is common. (ADDitude Magazine says the amount of people with ADHD who also have anxiety is ~50%!) Although, I have heard that some people think stimulants make anxiety worse, that ADDitude link says they don't. 

In my own experience, different stimulant or "excitatory" meds affect me differently. So, you may find that there is one that helps your ADHD without worsening your other condition.

Non-stimulant options are also available for ADHD. Someone I used to know was on Guanfacine for ADHD, even though it's also a blood pressure medication. You may be able to try a non-stimulant medication for your ADHD-symptoms.

There might also be other options to discuss with your doctor, like if dosing and/or timing of medication makes a difference. Ex. Maybe you could take a short-acting medication for ADHD before school/work & take a longer-acting medication for your other diagnosis at night. Many stimulants, like Ritalin & Adderall, come in short-acting forms that wear off in a few hours. This can be beneficial because the negative side effects are short-lived, as well.  Alternatively, your doctor may say that taking them at the same time will produce the best effect.  I know some people feel sedated from their inhibitory psych medications & are told to take their stimulant at the same time to help combat the sedation.

Oh man, ADHD. The worst. I was diagnosed when I was…13, I think. Just wanted to add on the skin-picking note (that’s one of my main symptoms! It’s so nice to see someone else that struggled with it too) that I’ve found wearing thin cotton gloves sometimes helps me with that, though it’s more of a ‘treating the symptom than the cause’ thing. Keeping my nails pretty short helps too. No acrylics for me!
