Just diagnosed with ADHD—I have no idea what to do next

Got the report from the psych yesterday. 15 pages I don't understand, recommendations I can't afford, and a label that somehow feels like relief AND shame at the same time.

I spent 6 months fighting to get this evaluation. Now I'm frozen. Where do I actually start?

What was the first thing you did after diagnosis that actually helped? (Not what you were supposed to do—what you actually did)

A diagnosis is information, not a verdict. It took me a while to believe that, but it's true.
