Hello my name is Trina and I am brand new to this website. I have been searching for someplace for quite sometime where I felt like I could fit in, I am excited to join the community here and hopefully be able to build some relationships with others that can understand so here is a little about me...........I am 39 years old and I was born with ADHD and SPD(Sensory Perception Disorder) As a child no one knew anything about either disorder and felt my parents should put me in an institution. Of course my parents did not. The challenges to get through every day life have been a struggle from my earliest of memories. I have always felt like I am on the inside looking out. As a child I was never medicated and as an adult I tried medication on for a time but the side effects were worse that the actual disorders and nothing could ever make me feel the "normal" i so badly wanted to feel. I have chosen to stay unmedicated at this point. My goal in becoming part of this website is to be able to find others like me that can understand. My family does their best to understand but I can see its still dificult and my husband just flat out doesnt want to understand so here I hope to find a safe place to just be me.
