i'm finally gonna do it, but it's because i'm 99.9999% sure I'm 1000% ADHD and I'm certain I've had it my WHOLE life!
So my friend Am gets on FB a month or so ago and tells us she's going on ritillan (sp?) for adult adhd... i was floored! she sees a naturalpathic dr. she's all hippified... like me... ritialln??? for a childhood thing that i seriously doubted 98% of the kids diagnosed with it had... they needed to eat better food and get their asses outside playing is what they needed not some stupid drug.
anyway... sooooo i decide it was high time I went and researched this rediculous condition when I read Am's post. What did I find you ask? I found a photo of me with my tail between my legs and me eating every uneducated word out of my mouth on the subject... that's what i found.
Everything I read that day was as if the authors were talking about me. my whole life from when I was a child till that very moment!
i did more research. i talked to my friend Am about it. i bought the book: You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy? and started highlighting... then stopped cause the entire book would be highlighted and then what's the point.
so i finally made the apt to get the referall to go see the head shrink... seriously with the billion step process! give me a break!
she looked skeptical but referred me anyway. had to reschedule first apt due to many things, but mainly a tummy ache and long distance drive in bad weather.
here i am the eve of and i'm writing in my "hardly ever wrote in" journal about the main points of why i know i'm adhd.
i want drugs. i'm ready to be a functioning adult and not this crazy, lazy and stupid person.
whats sites did you check out, i believe many young kids are mis-diagnosed AND there are therpies with natural remedies. My nutritionist help many a child with ADD and adult too with some vitamins and herbs. i need to re-educate on the topic though.
