addnurse,

my wife actually had to call an ambulance to me one morning because i was gonna follow thru on those dark thoughts, i hadn’t been diagnosed yet and had just lost my 2nd job that year, it was horrible times. I had to spend 4 days in the local mental facillity and amazingly enough they didnt diagnose it in there either. I was being treated for the wrong things. Finally after catching the documentary and having my wife watch it with me i made an appt with my doc. I am on straterra for the adhd but my doc also kept me on a mood stabilizer. I am doing a little better but it was tough for me to come to terms there isnt a fix and I just gotta try and deal with and control the effects of ADHD.

My problem is hyperfocus mainly i get so wrapped up in taking care of my son during the day i forget to let the dog out. You are not alone and I am new to the website but this place has already helped me alot.
