Profile Information
- About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?
- Let's see. From as early as I can remember my academic life has been a mess. I remember hating school as early as grade school. Only because it was very difficult for me. I missed a lot of school because I hated going. Of course I had parents, rest in peace, that didn't understand how important school was. There was no looking into my problems with counselors, teachers, Doctors. Not once do I remember a parent sitting down and trying to help. But that's in the past. I'm not angry with them as much as I was the begining of the week :). All I can think of concerning them is that they were totally ignorant themselves. Which wasn't their fault.
Once JH came along I was already considered pretty slow by my teachers. I was held back in 2nd grade for lack of math skills. The problem has never gotten better. Projects were never turned in. I was late to class, a lot. I would go to the right class, but the wrong time. Look around and realise.....I didn't know anyone there. Walked out being laughed at, including by the teacher. I always forgot pencils, paper and anything else I needed. I left homework at school and never studied for a test. I usually couldn't read my own notes by the time I needed to. I remember concentrating so intently on taking good notes that I never really heard the teacher. Then, the testing. Well, you all know. Someone drops a pencil you have to start all over with what you were doing because now you've taken your mind off the test.
HS was a blurr. I was pretty embarrassed by this time about my math skills and inability to write a decent paragraph, let alone read and retain what I've read. I once had a teacher make fun of me in class because I actually got an A on a history test. She had the whole class laughing. Not sure how I scored that A, actually. But I'll never forget this teacher and it's not a fondess I have for her. In fact, she's one of the reasons I have feared school so much. All I can say is Karma sweetheart, Karma. Where I come from, my little world, we just don't treat people like that.
Finally, by the grace of God. .....Or because they tend to just pass people, I graduated. Only to get married 3 days later. I felt it was my only future. When everyone else was going to college I was having children and living with a man that considered me to be pretty stupid.
Anyway....a friend of mine is a counselor. She sat down with me a few weeks ago and talked about some of the things she's observed about me. She comes into my office every mo to work with some of the state, unemployed/disability patients. I mentioned I wanted to go back to school but I have such a strong fear of failing, again. She told me right then and there that I was ADD. She sent me to a psychiatrist that dx'd me and started me on ritalin.
In one week alone...I've come to realise that I have needed this medication most of my life. What a shame that many of us go through such mental turmoil in school and every day life just because we had no clue what was going on and there is help.

Inner peace and a thank you.
I've noticed that for the last few weeks I've had this new feeling of acceptance of myself. I've become much more confident and not so afraid of being the person I am and always will be. I'm sure the new medication has helped me quite a bit. But I also know that having a community to relate to, that doesn't judge me and accepts my weirdness is a major part of my improving self esteem. You've all taught me that it's okay to be who I am.

Msg to NerdyMommy about Christmas
Several years ago when my ex left I faced a situation I'd never wish on anyone. He took every cent we had in the bank. Leaving my son and I without a place to live. To make matters worse my car finally died and it was about a mo before Christmas. My choices were, pay my rent or get a car. Either way there was no way I could support my son. Some wonderful people did some wonderful things for us.
