New to the Board | ADHD Information

Hiya Miss Rose!  Welcome to our universe.You're welcome!

Miss Rose - welcome!

Glad you found us.  It's a nice feeling to know that not only are you NOT alone - but there are countless thousands and thousands just like us out there trying to make it just like we are.

I don't know if you've read my past postings but I like you am 38 (coming up on 39 now) and been one year diagnosed.  I have had a rough time with relationships, jobs and family matters.  You'll find the same story just slightly different with all of us I think.

Ask questions, read the postings.  Give your own ideas and thoughts to others.  Gain through the shared experience.

Life just gets better from here.  It honestly does!

 

Take care.

Thanks, Everyone.

Miss Rose Welcome! Well done! You have taken a major step and completed it, facing up to the reality of your situation. Getting diagnosed is a positive thing. One step at a time eh!! You are part of an amazing group of people that have only clearly emerged in the last decade. Once again, on not giving in to the dark side, Congratulations!!!

Welcome to the board and so glad you made it!   Wow!  Finally I have the courage to do this.  Hi! My name is Tayari and I was diagnosed with ADHD-inattentive type about 5 months ago. I was reading some of the previous messages and wow! some of them hit home.  I too contemplated suicide because at 37 years (now I'm 38), I have been one of the hardest workers and patient enough to let time go by in order for things "get in order."  I look back at myself now and 1. I have never been married, 2. it took me 13 years to finish undergrad and didn't get the degree I wanted, 3. I still live with my mother and don't want to, 4. never had a real steady relationship nor can I keep friends.  I find it difficult to go to either of my sisters' homes because they have husbands and families.  It never bothered me before but last summer it just hit me.  I find my job difficult.  I never could organize or concentrate even as a child.  I fear losing my job and afraid to tell my supervisor my issues.  I have been depressed for many years but never seriously contemplated suicide.  By Sept. '05 I found myself calling the suicide hotline.  Soon after, I decided to get tested for ADHD, something I suspected for about 3 years but every time I was about to do something about it, I convinced myself that ADHD was a bull-crap diagnosis and that I just needed to "knuckle-down."  Well, I know better now and I am hoping to meet some on-line friends at this forum.Welcome, Miss Rose.
