My life has been a very dramatic sequel of events...still continuing.
I have been diagnosed with ADHD for 6 years now, and I still did not get the help I need. I dont know what it does to you or how to handle it. I dont know if I feel like normal people. I don't know. I just know that I'm suffering, and I need help and support. I have never met anyone with my condition. In fact, I was just told 7 months ago that I have ADHD, since I was taking my medication without me knowing what it's for. Please dont be surprised and please, dont judge me. My parents have kept in the dark for 6 years and I have been told all those years that I suffer from a nuerological problem. I know I'm not alone but I feel very alone. There's no one here I can tell about my condition. I still take my medication but I dont visit my therapist anymore becuase I felt it was just useless. I feel this huge bomb waiting to explode inside of me all the time, and I feel I'm in danger. I also take anti depressants, according to a prescription, but I still feel sad most of the time, even though I manage to smile most of the time. I dont have a life and I feel I will never have one. I will never be normal. Please help.

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. Please know that you are not alone, there are many people diagnosed with ADHD. It sounds as if you also suffer from depression. I hope that you will consider talking with your doctor and letting them know that you still feel sad, even on the medication. There are several medicatons available and maybe you need to adjust the dosage for the one that you are on or try a different medication.
I know that it is difficult to feel different, but there are many people that have found success, even with ADHD:

Also, this week I wrote a Share Post with one person's story. He was diagnosed wtih ADHD at the age of 30 and spent many years wondering what was wrong with him. You can read his story at:

I do care about how you are doing and hope that everything works out for you.
Please keep us posted on how everything is going.
