Is there a place out there for me?

Ok, here I am, after reading and following once again links to cyber confusion, I am trying to find a place where I can go and be understood, be responded to, to be reassured that I am not sinking into depths within that I fear I will not be able to retrieve myself from. I am fixing to be 40 I have managed a carreer, two children with ADHD, on with very severe mental disabilites, a spouse/exspouse that has ADHD, and all as I researched, maintained and controled the home and provided tools, resources, medical etc for my family as I myself tried my best to maintain my own ADHD, OCD etc. Now as I have retreated within, my family is going through intense home therapy to help us be a more productive family, kids are now 19 and 16. I myself am lost, with no one to understand. I thought I could find somewhere in this wide world of the net to blog, therapist thought great idea, but I went unnoticed, where I craze to be acknowledged and responded to. Some out there that is listening to my chatter and release. Is there such a place or am I just living a fanatsy. I dont want someone to call me or visit me, I will only retreat, I just want a place where people knows what it feels like to be.

There's a place, in fact there are lots of places and lots of us who understand! You r not alone. I am in my 40's, have adhd, have 2 children with adhd and 2 children without (although one of them will probably be diagnosed soon) . My ex most likely has it as well. I applaud the fact that you have your family in therapy something i am working on for my crew. I work fulltime. Let me tell you just getting out the door in the morning is a miracle and every day is a challenge. I have found much support at addjourneys.com and hope to find it here as well. I encourage you to do anything but retreat! post often and share your challenges .... i understand !

I just joined AdderWorld today, after reading this thread. I'm already loving it! I even joined their Writers Group! As if I didn't have enough groups on my plate already! lol I also belong to a couple of Facebook ADHD groups, including the one for Additude Magazine, and one on Cafe Mom. It looks like there are a lot of us out there, and a lot of support groups for us. We are not alone! My sister says, in her opinion, ADHD is the majority, and the so-called normal people are the minority. :)
