I have been living with this all my life, but was just dignosed with it since 2005 and still dont understand all the ways it affects me. Thats because I also suffer from PTSD post trumatic stress dissorder. Any advice is wanted.
May I ask if you find a lot of similarities between your PTSD and ADD? The reason I ask, is because I have had ADHD all my life and have been treated all of my life. I have a really good friend who suffers from PTSD and when learing about it and reading on the internet I found some of the symtoms are the same. I am sorry that you are having to live with both and I wish I knew of an answer for you. I myself take 10mg of Ritalin twice a day and that is what I have found to work the best. I hope for the best for you and hope you get the help you are looking for.
Yes I have notice simalaries between my ADHD and my PTSD. That is why it is so hard to now wich one effects me the most. I think my ADHD triggers my ptsd.I take 4 diffrent physic drugs .And I also take 8 diffrent drugs for my physical health probloms. I am glad that I fund this web site. I now know that my ADHD is a dissfunction of my brain. Where as my PTSD is physical ,mentally and emotionly dibilitaing. Thank you again for responding. Jurine
