I talked with a co worker and she said he’s been denying things too and that he’s under lots of pressure.
I do exactly that! I’m too responsible. The Psychologist said certain personalities in the corporate setting often gravitate to people like us cause after your self esteem and reputation has been “raped” we will accept all the responsibility. I’ve been working on it too.
I know my older brother is definitely ADHD but he’s in complete denial thinking it’s another excuse. When we were growing up I was always the conscientious one who’d consider the consequences. It is a constant throughout my life. I’m also the peace keeper at work. I can’t have conflict. Often getting in the middle and then get stuck with the problem and guilt. I tell myself I should not care! How can I be inattentive and be so sensitive! You are right about the “make nice” but I feel like it was a personal decision. “Do unto others…” I just got it. I didn’t have good parenting. My Dad was always an angry man and my mom was inattentive. I just tried not to get yelled at.
BTW I am not officially diagnosed. For years I thought it was my thyroid. My son started having problems in school. He just got diagnosed. All it took was describing his emotions and hyperactivity and they put him on Concerta. I’m stuck, unable to find some one who does the testing. I made an appointment with a psychologist who listed in the directory that they did testing. I thought we would do the interview and then do testing. But after my 3rd appointment she said my insurance doesn’t pay enough for her testing. After a few more visits she said that she believes I am ADHD she just can’t officially give me the diagnosis. She said Zoloft will help me be calm and stop the uncontrolled emotions. That it is prescribed for women with co morbidity and I will stop obsessing. I took 50mg for a month and 100mg for almost 2 months. I don’t think it’s working. I feel like the frustration and depression comes from not finding the right words to say when I’m pitching an idea or describing a plan of action and then when I have to explain a problem. That’s when I get the eye rolls. I have some great ideas and access to get stuff done I just can’t seem to finish them.
Based on my sons dx, maybe I can ask for an ADHD med now?
