OP, I had a floppy chain like yours, but I fidgeted too hard and broke it ๐Ÿ˜‚ I liked to try to squeeze my finger in between the rubber bands and over time it didn't like me doing that lol

My favorite is my Ono Roller. It's metal and has a delightful weight to it. I got the youth size for my small hands lol. I like that it's completely silent and occupies my entire hand

I also like the Nee Doh squishies. My mini cube is my 2nd favorite fidget at the moment. The ones filled with gel are superior to the ones with white goo. The ones with more varied shape (mushroom/animal) are more likely to make fart noises when squished. (I also have to resist fidgeting too aggressively and breaking these lol. One night the intrusive thoughts won and I was biting a cube while stretching it. It was a really good bite feel, but a bunch of air got in the cube and solidified the goo and now it's extremely hard and won't squish unless you sit on it and warm it up for half an hour first lmao ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Oooh I want one ๐Ÿคฉ

If it's a paid service your psychiatrist uses and your doctor trusts the results, then I would too.

Why do you doubt the results if you're trying to get help? Isn't that the point of reaching out to a doctor in the first place?

Everything in your bulleted list sounds like ADHD to me. The fact that you wrote out a post of your thoughts which included a bulleted list sounds like ADHD to me.

I'm not a professional of course. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, so I've lived with this for a long time. The quote in your post could have applied to me as a hyperactive child on some days but does not apply to me now; not just from maturing and aging, but also a lifetime of developing coping skills and self-restraint.

But regardless, everyone is different. I wouldn't put too much in stock with one quote.

But also, I have no idea what a creyos ADHD assessment is either. If it's just some free online test I wouldn't necessarily put too much in stock with its results either...

But yeah, it sounds like ADHD to me
