Brittany; I have the same background story! very religious parents who didn't believe in mental illness, only spiritual rebellion. 

this is how I finally got help after decades of not being able to function due to adhd...

first, write down ALL the symptoms you can think of that you have- explain how they feel physically as well as mentally, and give as much detail as possible. In your paper, include details about your parents being religious, how you felt as a child, and also how your life has been negatively affected by these problems. Try to remember as much as you can from your younger years- this is very important. 

Then take this information and make an appointment with a doctor who (if possible) deals with depression/anxiety/addiction/etc, and also one who treats children as well as adults, if possible. their experience with children will help them be more aware of what adhd actually IS, and how it can affect people. 

Even if the dr seems incredulous, and even flat-out says he disagrees, remember that it is YOUR body, YOUR mind, and YOUR life- no one knows it better than you do. With that in mind, DEMAND a referral to a psychiatrist, or ask anyone you know who has mental health/adhd issues if they know of a good psychiatrist. Sometimes with a personal referral from a friend some psychiatrists will even let you make payments if your insurance is worthless (like mine is), or will squeeze you into their calendar even if they're booked for months in advance. After countless calls and being told they didn't accept my insurance, or weren't taking new patients, I asked friends to try to remember any psychiatrist they'd seen, or heard of, who might be flexible. Eventually my friend called her old psychiatrist and told her my story- I called the psychiatrist an hour later, and when she said my insurance was impossible to get money out of I said "I will blow off my power bill and pay you cash- I will do whatever it takes. I am absolutely desperate, and you're my only hope." She said "well------just come in and we'll work something out, okay?" even some psychiatrists have souls- you just have to find them :) anyway, getting help for my adhd that I was never aware of until recently is the best thing that's ever happened to me- it has allowed me to LIVE for the first time i can remember since I was 3 or 4 years old. I feel "real" rather than as if I'm floating around, I can play with my kids for longer than 30 seconds (not an exaggeration), I can accomplish things and confront tasks that previously were overwhelmingly terrifying to me- I can even have a calm, rational confrontration with necessary people without backing down or having a panic attack! I did not know that it was possible for me to be "normal"- I was depressed from age 6 until I began my adhd treatment- I always thought I was "crazy" and that there simply was no cure. Adhd treatment has changed my life dramatically, almost instantly, and even tho I went through a couple months of forcing myself to keep calling drs and keep asking people about other dr's they knew (I used to have a phone phobia also that made those calls literally painful for me), it was WELL worth it. I don't feel like a different person, exactly- I feel like the person I was always meant to be, as if my "adhd life" was a bad flu, and now that I'm finally "well" I don't know how I managed to survive as long as I did being as sick as i was. So for anyone who is scared, or having a hard time finding a dr who will help them, DO NOT GIVE UP! IT WILL BE WORTH IT! Be honest and detailed as you can, and if you're desperate and feeling suicidal about not getting any relief or help- TELL them that. DR'S get a lot of drug-seeking "fakes" who aren't suffering, only pretending, so sometimes you have to almost embarrass yourself with your honesty before they'll believe you. Also, there are still dr's out there who take regular old money, so scrape together as much as you can and if all else fails, BEG. you'll thank yourself a million times a day once you're being treated and start being able to live your life again. 

Hang in there, everybody who hasn't found help yet- you will get thru this! It took me over a decade of asking dr's for help and going undiagnosed and then months of KNOWING what was wrong with me but still not having an official diagnosis before I found some relief- also remember that you have no idea how badly you're suffering now until you're no longer suffering- you will be shocked at how sick you were and didn't know it. Good luck!
