ADHD / ADD Support Group

I also have the "listening"problem. Seems to be getting worse with age. Most people don't understand.They get frustrated with me.I've found if I ask them to say my name before they begin(getting my attention),I've less problems with communication. I'll only ask "what did you say" a few times ,if they don't respond then they show they have a problem(with manners). Because ADHD doesn't show like a broken arm,people often forget.Then they get frustrated,but I actually get upset that can't remember that I have a condition.It'a 2-way street.

I have the same problem but what I try and do is watch the person's lips move so I can try and catch every word their saying. It sometimes helps.

... thank you every one... I am trying really hard. My hubby has an issue with people not listening to him, becuase of his father. He is passive aggressive and usually bites my head off even though he knows I have issues. But yes I used to watch people's lips. I am trying to get better with music now so I have been avoiding lip reading.

Has any one here tried fish oil or omega 3 I heard it boost brain power. I have also been on top of my iron to reduce sleepyness.

I used to be able to give my hubby notes a long time ago when we were in school, now if I do that it pisses him off. I have a hard time talking to.. almost like the stereotypical stuttering kid that got picked on. It seems my issues are getting worse the past 4 years.

Are antidepressants bad for Add?
