Married, Military, ADD/ADHD

New to all of this. I am 22 years old and just found out there is a potential that I could have ADD/ADHD. One, what the heck is the difference and from the research I have been doing, I'm not hyperactive. I am quite the opposite. And I'm also in the military and this could cause me to get kicked out. I don't wan that to happen. I just signed up for classes, and I need my degree. What do I do???!!!! I am very scared and I just need someone to talk to who can understand.

Married and my husband cannot grasp the concept. Frustrated and depressed, it's midnight here and I'm posting this. I need help.

ADHD in the Military

First don't panic. Go to a reliable knowledgeable doctor. ADHD is not the end of the world, it just means you now have a name to put on your situation. There is hope for you. When you enroll in college there will be an office for disabled students, they can assist you by getting you tutors, making sure you get extra time on exams. I had the same problems when i started taking classes and managed to earn a B.G.S.
