i may have add...:( | ADHD Information
hi ive written in these forums...and lately been stressed over my daughters' adhd...especially today cuz of her iep meeting...the teacher kept trying to say to put her on meds "cause ill only be hurting her"...EXCUSE ME!i dont want to put her on any meds for the reasons that i cared for a lil boy w/ add plus autism,before i had my lil girl, but she was saying im "comparing apples w/ oranges"...
to me that means its all comparisons that im making as to my idea of not medicating her...my daughters' counsler, everybody pratically knows what my wants about her healthcare are...
well back to my original subject( i skip around alot...sign of add?)
...ive always felt different i got teased a kid even punched in my kidney cuz i was different...i wear glasses, wasnt too much of a whiz in math, my dad called me stupid or why cant i get it?..well duhhh maybe cuz my brain couldnt handle it or function fast enough to compute...well the last few years ive been depressed
and im starting to wonder when ill lose my mind and go off the handle on anyone that even remotely crosses me, the thing about my daughter makes me cry and i feel useless many times....
i seriously think i may have some bipolar or combo w/ add thing ...but bad thing i dont have medical to pay for counseling, i barely work (on call job), hubby works, we live paycheck to paycheck...am getting scared about this , because i am seeing so many things add related when i think back , even today, im forgetful, disorganized, i never was like this in h.s.. wondering if its something else going on??even as im writing this im getting teary eyed thinking im going to end up in the psych ward......
someone please help me...i really need some advice...its getting too much for me, and i need to take care of my daughter, im becoming my dad w/ his cruel words and i hate it so badly....
STOP crying. You AREN'T your dad, you're doing EVERYTHING you can and this is NOTHING to be ashamed of.
so STOP IT. I'm notr trying to be harsh but you sound like you need a good shake and a hug...you sound like you're comming apart at the seams.
