As a young adult i was diagnosed with add and shortly after was taken off of the ritalin because of the newness of the drug my mom did not want to risk it. Now i am 27 and can barely keep my life together, i am going to school, have a son with the woman of my dreams that is 6 years old and she has 2 younger ones 2 and 3 years old. (I was in the service and she couldnt wait) great woman though i am not complaining. My problem is that i can barely keep myself focused and on task with no matter what i do any more and im lost all the time. I need help
Hey there!
First of all...that is a wonderful picture of your family...thanks for sharing.
I hear you...you are going through a very rough time and you are feeling a bit lost. I want to ask...have you considered taking medication again? We have tons of information here that you can research about the different ADHD meds. I am thinking that it may be worthwhile to look into this option.
What about therapy? Do you feel this would help at all?
Can you tell us which symptoms of your ADHD are the worst for you? What would you like to change if you could? I think identifying the major issues is half the battle.
Please keep talking to us...we are here to listen and we want to help.
