ADHD
I got my test results today. My IQ is in the normal to above normal range. However I came back in the HIGH level for ADHD and ADD. SO that explains a lot. Why my anxiety is so high. Why anti-depressants don't work. Why I can't finish books I'm starting. Why I jump all over the place in my chores. Why I'm all over the place in my thoughts. Why I'm shaky and impatient. Why I feel frustrated and am extremely sensitive to time. The Doc and I talked about some strategies to try to help. Mt therapist will also be helping me. She said lots of women with children that have ADHD feel VERY overwhelmed which is the word I use every freaking day when I say how I feel. Often times that leaves us distracted or not able to finish or start projects so we fall behind and get more anxious. She also said when we're anxious our thoughts bounce making the anxiety feel more intense. We also talked about meds. I see my new MEDS doctor tomorrow and Im not sure if she'll have the report or not but I hope so. I'd LOVE to get off of this anti-depressant that makes me cry all the time and is causing such weight gain. And I'd like to get on something that actually HELPS!
So yeah....this makes a lot of sense. We'll see what happens now.
