I just wanted to let everyone know I am back and to say hello again. It's probably been a year or two since I have been on here.
Just for an update on my progress since I was last on. I think I have the ADHD mostly under control (mostly). After I was diagnosed I forced myself to learn how to study like everyone else. Spending 8 hours studying was working out as well as not studying. Over the past year and a half I finally figured out not to fight the ADHD but work with its learning style, manage it, and use it to my advantage. Needless to say my grades improved since that discovery. Speaking of school, I am graduating this May with my Mechanical Engineering Bachelors Degree and I am graduating again in Decemeber with my Civil Engineering Bachelors Degree. I laugh because only someone with ADHD cound do it in such a short time period.
While not everything has been good or easy (especially my luck), I choose to focus on the good. The girl that I just started dating when I was diagnosed with ADHD is still loving me for who I am, no matter what rollercoaster of emotions I might be on. Matter of fact, we are getting married on August 11th this year. I can't ask for anything more than that. By the way, my proposal was totally ADHDish... I had been thinking about it for awhile, knowing she was the one for me, and all of a sudden it just came out in the middle of a regular conversation. She had to ask me to say it again because she didn't think I was serious. We still both say that I was in shock longer than she was. I was scared when it came time to tell her parents because I didn't ask her father for permission first (something I definetely wanted to do). Luckily, the first thing he did when we told her family was shake my hand and congratulate me. We then had a man to man talk and I immediatly apologized to him, I really did feel bad. He laughed and didn't mind because he knew we were right for each other and were heading torwards marriage. He also knew me well enough to see how my proposal really could have been an accident.
Hopefully, in general, all has gone well for everyone on here. If it wasn't for this forum, I don't know how I could have made it through the first 6+ months. Just talking to people who have gone through the same stuff I had was a huge help.
I am going to try and keep coming back regularly so I can return the favor. Thanks again and if anyone has any questions, don't hestitate to ask.
