All my life | ADHD Information

So tell me,

I have spent a life taking care of others.

Some way or another they have all gone away....

I have tried so hard and it did not make a difference.

Why are we so different.

whoops! I didn't realize clearing the form would even erase what I wrote before!

lets see.... I gave you a hug,  and said I'd be back.

I started to answer all the questions in your poem but then I realized you might not want to hear my philosophical views!

You sound like you are very down right now. I want to assure you that you are not alone and that there are  people in your life who do care about you. It is just that you need them and they aren't there for you right now. Maybe some of them would like to be, but don't know how, so they stay away. I don't know. I just know you aren't alone.

If you are interested in making new friends, there is a chat room for ADD in the classic chat room section at www.brainchat.org. I and some of the others from this board go there often and we would love to meet you. There isn't a scheduled time to meet so you just need to check in there every so often, maybe even hang around if you're alone. Someone may see you and go in. It is part of the neurology unit for Mass. General Hospital and there are several other rooms there also. You can go visit any of them and be welcome. Many of those from the other rooms visit us in the ADD room.

Hang in there! By the way, I really liked your poem. It made me feel the way you intended it to!!!      Barb

ADDK,

I hear you.

I have felt this way so many times.  Thanks.

  I have watched other family members & friends alot younger than myself move on to bigger & better things, somethings after helping them. I've tried & have always failed. Especially in a social situation or a stressful job. You are NOT alone, & will will soon discover there are more that feel the same way. We will all get through this thing one way or another! Hang in there!

I feel ya!  Get this--I have ADD and Cerebral Palsy...now the CP has NEVER been an issue with me.  I can walk fine, w/o cruches.  I am married and have 3 kids (2 step and 1 biological) and have a good job...but the ADD is another story....I am ALWAYS late for EVERYTHING, I feel like my life is one big catastrophic (however you spell that) event after another, something goes wrong everyday it seems, and I feel like people are passing me by, no matter how hard I try to succed...I know I am smart, but I just feel like I am running in place, trying to get there, but can't.

I have trouble keeping frinds (notice I said keeping them not making them) b/c I can't keep my word....b/c I forget!!!  Not b/c I just don't care.  After I clocked in at work today, A co-worker asked me to do something very simple, but I had to unlock my office first....so from her office (2 hallways down) I walked to my office, unlocked it and began to work...A little while later she came to me and said 'did you do that for me?'  OOOPS....I FORGOT!  Now how is that possible?  In less than a 5 minute period, I FORGOT!  HELP!!!  I am getting my rx filled today!  I am out of meds and I can tell....

 Anyone else feel like this?
