adhd adult here? | ADHD Information

 hi jafa here
i haven't been diagnosed with adhd but i've known that i have it for some time now been hiding from it trying to act as if nothing is wrong liveing a lie i spoes i have two boys who have adhd both have been statemented, i don't no weather to go to my doctors and tell them because some one has told me that going will help as they will help me with perscibed drugs for it thing is i'm nearly 40 yrs old and have come this far with out it, i would like to but it scares me, i'd love to be organized and be able to have a convasation without drifting off, feel like i got outtimers sometimes could u plz tell me what type of drugs if en would help me if i could go natural like herbal that would be better, maybe if i treated mine it would be better for d as well
the main thing is i feel i was doing good up till now,
not very good at getting out what i want to say so if u can make sence of this cos i do tend to ramble on, 

its not just through my sons condition as a young person and through my childhood i have felt like this as long as i can remember
my perants put it down as being norty and tried to get help for me, i tried really hard to not be norty but i always seemed to be en how when i became an adult i still knew that someting was wrong i have been to the doctors before but had nothing done about it when c was diagnozed i told the doctor that i to did most if not all the things c did now c is 18 yrs old its not just a now issue its been a big part of my life for along time then d was diaognozed later on still i did nothing about my-self because i didn't know there was much to do about an adult i have not read up on it cos i can't concentrate on things like tecnical stuff,
the only reason i asked for a herble is for memory loss just something to help my brain take things in more just so scared of medicine and the way it might change me not against it just scared been so used to being the way i am

Hi there, just thought I would add this, my son has asperger's syndrome (also a condition of the brain) we were told that he would always have this problem and that he will not recover..... stuff that... we have spent a load of time looking up as much information as we can on his condition and talked with my son explaining the different aspects of the condition and he has spent much time looking up and researching asperger's now 5 years on my son that would not go to school lived in a world of his own with no mates is at college and way ahead of the rest has loads of mates and is going on to university. He has overcome most of his problems simply by knowing what they are and finding ways to beat it. The internet is a massive source of information and there are so many solutions to problems just waiting to be found. Aspergers is not that different to adhd understanding the way it works is a good step towards beating it..
