ADHD

Anyone here suffer from it?

After months at the doctor's and months seeing councilors at school, they discovered that I was suffering from Adult ADHD.

It has gone undiagnosed over the years due to past issues that masked it up, but I'm now getting treatment for it.

As long as my holter monitor passes (I had arrhythmia show up on an EKG when i was getting all my vitals tested) I'll be put on atomoxetine. I've also been registered as being permanently disabled as it was effecting a major aspect of my life.

From what the psych is telling me, she is saying that a "whole new world will open up for you career wise". I could never understand why I could never complete tasks on time or start tasks, or come late for everything, but I started to read some material and my psyche began to ask about my school career and how my room was organized it started to become pretty evident that I was not suffering from an anxiety issue that I thought I was suffering before, but was suffering from this instead.

I also want to use this thread as a form of discussion because I know alot of people out there don't believe ADHD exist, or that drugging people up with ritalin (no different from doing coke to be honest) is not the solution.


some humour for the thread.
