Ahhh!
So I am a college student with ADD, and God only knows what other learning disorders I have. It is a day to day struggle for me to get out of bed and go to class. I don't have the hyperactive type of ADD, I have the just completely out of it type of ADD. I don't like going to class because I hear anything and everything that is going on in the classroom. I have been on almost every ADD, and depression medicine that is known to man kind. I just want to give up and drop out of college every day, but I am not letting that be an option for me. I feel absolutely brain dead after one 50 minute lecture because my brain just can't take any more. I want to find a support group anywhere, either online, or close to where I live but I am having no luck. Please, anyone, help, write your words of wisdom, anything :( Thanks Julia Posted on 10/26/09, 06:10 pm |

I am not familiar with ADD, (i don't think so anyway) but the fact that you have tried so many different tools and still refuse to give up shows that you ROCK! so just keep on rockin! sending you strength :)

Sounds very challenging. I get ADD symptoms and have for years but undiagnosed and never tried meds for it. I somehow forced myself to take a million notes in class and when I had my attention capabilities I could retain much information. I managed to work all my adult life with it until 3 years ago when I had to stop working due to physical disabilities. One thing that is amazing to me is how much diet and supplements help with physical and mental ailments. I put myself on a super health diet and started taking vitamins, minerals and herbs in order to survive all the bodily pain and I see more differences in my mental and emotional state from this. Hey, my dad was from Lexington and I lived there as a child and have visited for years all my many relatives. Very pretty area and I love the horse farms and the Kentucky Horse Park. : )
