Coping with possible ADD | ADHD Information

I guess I first noticed something was up in high school when I was having problems studying regardless of the fact I am very smart. People are constantly telling me I have no memory and I seem ditzy. My IQ is rather high. I don't know if that is related to the problem or not. In school I would develop romantic interests in several different guys but I didn't know why. I just bored easily.

Time passed and I managed to stay married to one man 5 years, but I felt like he was ignoring me and I became extremely high maintenance for him. I just couldn't stay interested. I ended up married a 2nd time, same problem.

I have been through at least 3-4 boyfriends since the divorces, but I keep feeling neglected. One day I noticed an adult ADD quiz online & decided to try it. it had the scale for ADD set at 20 for borderline ADD, 50 for ADD, 70 for high ADD. I answered honestly and scored a 91. My mind wanders constantly, my apartment looks like world war 3 and I can't finish anything I start. If I do it's because I come back to it a year later and finish it. I am now stuck with high bills from the 2 ex's, seriously deep debt & recurring relationship breakups. I can't even afford health insurance to get treated for ADD.

Are there any really good proven herbal remedies for ADD?

I can't remember to pay bills, take care of certain aspects of my life. It's deplorable. I need some serious help. I don't suspect having manic-depression. I do become sad on occasion, just not often. For the most part its the constant wandering mind and boredom. The only thing that seems to help me concentrate is massive amounts of caffeine which I have had since childhood. The downside is the caffeine makes me hyper.

I need help to get on track and not be constantly off in space. Its affecting my job, my finances (can't remember what I spent even if I try a check ledger), my personal life, my relationships, my health..

Any suggestions would be great.

Sorry to hear things havent gone so well for you.

Have you gone to get an official diagnosis from a doctor of some kind? Therapy and medication can work wonders for getting things more 'in gear' for you. I havent taken medication, but have found that even just the therapy has helped me straighten out certain aspects of my life in a big way, and let go of a lot of the depression associated with adhd.

No I haven't visited a doctor. I called around and they told me it would be about 0 just for the visit (uninsured). I figured I ould try an herbal formula first. My office is not up for health insurance renewals until January.
