I am truly happy for you. It's hard to find good significant others these days, especially ones that are as supportive as you are describing. I truly hope God continues to bless your life.
That was absolutely beautiful! I totally agree with that, and trust me, I've got lots of holes that I am trying with all of my might to give to God and not take control myself. Everything for a reason I always say. Let God's will be done.
Honestly, I would try to help her understand by giving her different ideas of books to read and explaining your illness to her. Give her a little bit of time, and if she still acts like that, personally, I'm sorry to say, but I would get her out of…
I know have exactly the same feelings; that is why I tend to not let people get too close and once they are I get scared that they will abandon me like some of my friends have because I couldn't control my symptoms when I didn't know what I had. I'v…
My husband doesn't think that I should have any side effects to being bipolar or having ADD. He thinks that I can just control my symptoms and get on with life. He yells at me when I need him to repeat something he just said like 15 minutes ago beca…
I have had a few friends for life, but I am not close with them as far as talking with them a lot. I really don't talk with them except this one friend who is supposedly my best friend, I'm not really a good friend to her because I never initiate ph…
This is a group for all of those who want to discuss how their faith or fellow participants in faith respond. It may be a chance to present prayers requests or get ideas on how to advocate for adhd amongst various faith groups, or struggles.
I also have a major problem living in the past and the future. My therapist says to live in the moment, basically thinking to yourself right now I am watching tv, right now I am reading a book, every step of the way.
I feel this way. I feel like I keep forgetting simple things day to day, and I am taking classes through school. I can't remember currently what we have been studying becaue we went a week without school, spring break. Just so you know though, if yo…
By the way, I really haven't tried other medications, so if you have any ideas of medications that work well please let me know.

- Aw Sarah bless your heart- you sound like me , Im ADD as well but have learned how to deal with my ADD on my own terms , how ever having an ADHD partner who also suffers from OCD ( and some times I think he's Bipolar as well but hasn't been diagnosed by a Dr) I will tell you straight up there are days where I just want to pull my hair out , because my ADHD partner is so unorganized & can't ever seem to keep up with his own brain - yet expects me to keep up with him on top of all of my own stuff - so trust me I understand what your going through. Well that's all for now , hope your having a blessed day !!!

- Hi Sarah, sorry to hear you are going through so much stress; it seems like it is everywhere. I am not sure what other meds you are on, but have you been on a mood stabilizer? I know that the Vyvanse works well for the compulsiveness and concentration; however, the doc said some people with other things like ODD and Bipolar, etc., work well with a mood stabilizer. I hope things go better with you.
Take care, Deborah

- About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?
- I have been diagnosed with ADD. I am currently on Vyvanse 60 mg and lately with all of the extreme stress in my life it is not working very well. Before that, it was working wonderfully. I also have Bipolar and Anxiety. I have diagnosed with those for 5 years, and ADD for 4 months. I also just found out the other day that I have PTSD for what I went through in childhood just now being brought to the surface.
