When you were diagnosed with adhd-did they offer you any medications to take? I know the meds. these days will help you to keep from jumping from one thing to another, and calm your thoughts.

No im not on medication for it as yet only diagnosed last year. Doctors in ireland are not keen on given adhd meds to adults 4 some reason

Sounds alot like me brother.

I was finally diagnosed with some thinking disorder's after my last relapse. A combination of working a good program and some medications, I have become a different person.

Just remember that some are sicker than others. One day I hope that my HP will relieve my brain from all of it's disorder's.
I have always said, I have a war going on between my brain and my soul.

Effexor and busbar have worked wonders for me. Being TOTALLY CLEAN AND SOBER has worked wonders, also.

I never gave my brain a chance to be normal.

i am lmao because i am also a diagnosed adhd and i'll tell you why meds for us can be a bad idea. ritalin and adderal have amphetamine properties--now days they happen to be the abused drug of choice for college students and others of that age group. my personal experience is this: took as directed for about 2 years but then i heard of a special way of getting high (from those same kids --met in n/a.) well, it wasn't but another 6 months and i was in relapse mode. by the end of that particular debacle i was going through approximately 60 10mg. pills a day. my house was clean--except when i was touring the looney bins and hospitals. it is not easy to come off that stuff so i would advise you ask your physician for advice in dealing your adhd. and yes i do know what you mean--my adhd manifests itself in chronic daydreaming and lack of focus. i look as if i'm paying rapt attention but, i tell you sincerely, miss d. has left the room. a good book to read on the dangers of adhd meds is "more, now, again" by elizabeth wurtzel. good luck.
