Stress and ADD
I find when I am stressed out or overwhelmed about something I literally just shut down completely until all I can do is lay down and sleep. I discovered this when I tried going to college. I also...

How old was everyone when they found out they had ADD/ADHD?
I was technically diagnosed when I was 10 years old. (I'm 28 now) There were suspicions before that though. I was the kid that was like the Tasmanian Devil. See that blur? That was me. I was rambun...

- About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?
- Hey there!
I am not new to ADHD - I was diagnosed at 10 years old...but it had a huge impact on my life and my family way earlier than that. Thanks to my mom and my teachers especially, I am able to be more self sufficient now than I would have been without their help and influence when I was a kid.
Now that I am an adult, I feel that my needs have changed and that I have hit the proverbial 'brick wall'. I have been getting the growing desire to reach out and find others like me that I can relate to. To learn more about this condition and how to work with it and not fight it every single day of my life.
I hope to find help in connecting with a physician that can assess my current needs as an adult and to be treated so that I can finally feel more in control of my life again and the confidence to feel that I can live a 'normal' life as a self sufficient adult.
I look forward to meeting others on this website, it was highly recommended by a real life friend of mine who I go to Karate with (who also has ADHD). I give him a big thank you too!
See you around the forums!

I totally agree - I don't know how the heck they do it!
I literally have no concept of time. If someone asks me how long a task is going to take I have no idea (and its more complicated when the same task can take me different lengths of time to ...

I called last night but you weren't home. I thought that was weird but maybe you had to work late. So I went to class without you thinking I'd give you a ride home at least.
Half way there I suddenly remembered Andre mentioning that it was a holiday and there was no class.
At least I got to see Bones live instead of on tape. On the other hand you can't fast forward through commercials when it's live. The good and the bad of my life...
*hugs*
Just because they are turkeys doesn't mean we should depersonalise them, so every year we name our Thankgiving guest. This year his name is Billy. As in Billy Boyd. Last year it was Liona.

Since then, at least three more relatives of mine have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. I am thankful for my kids and the younger generation that they are fortunate by receiving an early evaluation and not having to wait as long as I did to discover ADD/ADHD.
Back when I was growing up, nobody even heard of ADHD and there were no girls diagnosed with it. Times sure have changed!
Feel free to check out all of the groups on ADDer World. There is something for everyone!
Despite what the politically correct kids' shows say, sometimes sharing is not a good idea :)
I made a good call deciding not to go tonight. I feel like I've gone two rounds with Andre. Bleh.
