I am fed up with myself at the moment. I recently found out I have ADD. I am so disorganised, scatty, forgetful and get bored easily! I just cannot help it. This morning I got up at 7 to go to work and ended up leaving my house at 9! I was meant to be at work at 9!
I cried this morning to myself out of frustration! My Mum keeps saying to my boyfriend that it is his job to take me off of her hands! She wants me to move out! I dont think she can live with my anymore because I am messy and I am always talking too much to her. I dont give her a lot of space! This is starting to get me down now. I am sick of people constantly moaning at me. It causes me to have a terrible temper tantrums! My boyfriend seems to understand, but what if my behaviour puts him off! I feel alone in this situation. Help!!!!

Sarah,
Sound just like me- I'm supposed to be at work at 8:30, I usually get there around 9. Everythings a mess, always has been- THUS the ADD diagnosis! I'm 32 and was diagnosed last year-I assume you are younger. Try not to live up to or give into other peoples expectations. You are who you are and it is others who have a problem. I'm not saying don't be responsible or sensitive to others feelings, but it is clear that alot of your angst comes from others trying to make you someone you are not. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK! Don't move out unless your ready. discuss your problems with your mom trying to see things from her oint of view. Try to keep your temper in check and don't get defensive. I moved out before I graduated high school and it was a big mistake. Does your mom know about ADD? If not ask her to look into it, explain to her that it is not an "excuse". Well, I wish you a good day-I better get going because once again I am also running Late!!!
Sarah, has the doctor prescribed any medication for you? Sarah, have a good cry when you need to, but also, the first moment you feel centered (i.e., not depressed or desperate or excessively scattered), make your plan to get out of your mom's house. Your plan should include getting treatment for ADD if you haven't already. Continuing to live with your parents, who apparently wouldn't know "support" if it bit them in the asses, will only bring you down. You need your own space and your own life.IMac, That is what I was going to ask. I think you may want to consider meds or some alternative if you haven't already.
Thanks guys! I havent been prescribed meds the Doc has sent me for counselling which I don't think I need! I need to get a full diagnosis and given some meds! I can't go on living in this dreamy world, oblivious to everyone and everything!!
