Unfortunately they refuse to diagnose/refer me whilst I'm depressed, so no idea if/when I can even do that much

Depression can be a symptom of adhd. At least in women, depression and anxiety are more common than hyperactivity.

Unfortunately, some GPs fixate on 1 or 2 symptoms. That's where having a checklist is useful. It shows patterns, not just individual symptoms.
