    Hey there. Went through something similar about five years ago now. For me, the path to testing was through depression and anxiety therapy. Went to sessions for about a year exploring CBT with no success, and I kept mentioning my issues focusing. Eventually my therapist recommended looking into medication, and had added ADHD to my diagnosis. The meds specialist I saw immediately recommended treatment via Vyvanse. I know this isn’t a straightforward path and might not work for you, but it got me to the point where there was at least some progress instead of constantly being stonewalled. A heads up, if you’re dealing with depression around your exhaustion and focus issues getting treatment for ADHD isn’t a cure all. I’m still working on a lot to try to get back to a healthy place. But it definitely makes it easier to work your way forward. Best of luck.
