Hi!

My name is Hollie, and I’m reaching out to ask for support in helping me afford a private ADHD assessment - something that could truly change my life.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve faced daily battles that are difficult to explain to others: constant overwhelmed and overstimulated, difficulty focusing, time blindness, emotional exhaustion, the simplest tasks are debilitating and a deep feeling of frustration when I can’t seem to function the way others do. These challenges have impacted nearly every part of my life - my mental health, relationships, work, and self-esteem.

After visiting my GP for the hundredth time and doing my own research, I finally feel like I might have an answer for why life has felt so much harder for me. My GP confirmed he believed I have lived my life with undiagnosed and unmediated ADHD. Unfortunately, the wait time for an NHS assessment is years long, and I can’t afford to wait anymore. A private assessment is my only realistic option right now, but it’s costly and something I simply can’t manage alone.

Getting this assessment wouldn’t just give me clarity, it would give me a path forward. It would allow me to access the support and tools I need to finally feel in control of my life, not feel broken, understand myself and to finally be understood.

If you’re able to contribute, even just a small amount, it would mean the absolute world to me. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would still be a massive help.

Thank you for reading and for supporting me on this journey.

With love and SO much gratitude,

Hollie
