Well as you all know I'm not on any medication for my ADD . I have a Dr's appointment coming up the 13th of this month for my social security disability review . This Dr's appointment is just a general examination , the fact that I have not been to see a Dr for my ADD doesn't look too good on my part, the fact that I also have not been on any medication for my ADD doesn't look very good on my part neither , but how can I see a Dr to even get any kind of medication when the state of NC in which I live doesn't have any kind of mental health services & the services that they do have are in need so major improvements , to say the least the mental health system here royally sucks . I'll be honest I don't want to be put on any kind of medication for my ADD , I have not been on medication my ADD in so long & I have learned how to deal with my ADD on my own terms ( which I have heard a lot of ADDer's feel this way )

I feel that I am going to be put on any kind of medication for my ADD that I should explore an Alternitive medication with an alterntive Medicine Dr , who could prescribe herbal medication that is completely natural , there for I won't be left feeling like a doped up zombie all the time , I will still able to be me, I'll still have my creativeness , my fun bubblely personality , I'll still be me . Now don't get me wrong I know that there some people out there who are ADD and need medication but I just don't feel that regular medication is best for me - the other reason why I am not for regular medicaiton my ADD is the fact that I am thinking about how regular medication would affect me if I were to have another child , I wasn't on any medicaiton when I was pregnant with my son & I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing . I know that alot of these medications these days you have to be careful with especially if there's a chance that you could be pregnant or become pregnant , Jeremy & I have talked about it alot and we truly feel that If I am going to do any kind of medication , I need to do a natual herbal medication prescribed by a Alterntive Medicine Dr . On a more personal note , I don't look at being ADD as a disorder or mental issue, I don't feel that I am any different than anyone else, no my brain doesn't work like every one elses but my brain is not broken , nor is me being ADD mean I am damaged goods , I feel that god made me ADD for a reason & I don't feel that I need to change for anyone , if anything I want to improve myself instead of change myself just because I don't fit this non ADD world . I am perfectly happy with how the good lord made my brain , truth is I have come to accept that but it's apparent that the rest of the world is having a hard time at accepting me for me .
