I hear you!
Your post could've been me! I can sense your pain and frustration like I do my own. It's been hard for me to reach out and find others who struggle like I do, but I finally got to the point that I think I have to in order to survive. I am literally "just keeping it together". My days are spent just trying to hold everything in place so it doesn't fall apart. I am exhausted and frustrated and just so tired of being on this journey alone. I am a wife of 19 years, (husband knows but doesn't really know what to do) mom of 3 great kids, and a full-time manager. I have a great life, but I am so miserable. I have finally opened up to my best friend about my ADHD struggles (she knew, but I didn't think she'd really get it....she does and has been wonderful!) and even leveled with my sister, who thankfully was also very supportive. I have learned to pick and choose who I share my struggles with, as many think of it as an excuse for poor performance, but I realized lately, I HAVE to seek my own support system from those who know this issue the best. So here I am. I have found the website TotallyADD.com to be both humorous and even enlightening, and have signed up there too, so that I can find more answers to this frustrating issue in my life. I have had to make some changes in my life to accommodate my ADD (I have a more inattentive type, but with internal hyper-ness that keeps the motor going 24-7!) I do take meds, and I'm on my way, but I too, feel the need to have support. I hope I can be of help or at least be a listening ear. Hang in there....one day at a time!
