ADD TALK

Dec 23, 2011 13:29

So as some of you know I recently realized that I very very very likely have ADD, which has been undetected by myself, my family, and educators for YEARS. I mean, I sort of get it, because I can understand why it can go pretty undetected for someone like me who wasn't really fulfilling a bullshit stereotype of what ADD looks like, even though all ( Read more... )

Man I thought you were still in DC! I was all up in the LA from like, Friday through Sunday, I would have been like "WHAT YOU DOIN".

Seriously though: I'm really sorry to hear about the partial diagnosis, both on the sympathy of how rough ADD/ADHD is (especially when it's not just simply distractive, but straight up anxiety-inducing and impossible to work through), and on the sympathy of how hoorrrrible getting the full diagnosis on the follow-up is for just about anything.

I really hope that you can get some help soon. I don't know if it's just because most of the time when we talk it's about ridiculous things or me being super self-involved, but I hate seeing you so frustrated! ADD/ADHD is at least better understood than it was through the 90's and you'll likely be able to get some concrete help. Really, good luck all over the place.

And thanks, I'm really hoping something can be done soon. It's really been bad in the past year, but deffo in this last semester or so. Ugh. :(

GURL. I was diagnosed adult AHDH a couple of years ago - and just like you, no one noticed it (or if they did, my dad shut them down; he was a firm believer in "there's nothing wrong with you that a good ass-beating won't cure!").

Just be aware when they write your prescription that there's currently a shortage of Adderall going right now due to the company that makes it trying to force everyone to switch to Vyvanse (which is not currently available in generic).
