Greetings, you are in a good place. Please see the webinars, blogs and the film, it maybe on tv.

You’ll find that we each have slightly different or widely different ADHD, differences on Meds and etc… human yes?

So, you wrote : .” i am relieved im not crazy that there is actually something wrong with me “

I get it, after 60 years of being told i could do better if i had the gumption or focus, I was more than a little pleased

to be diagnosed as ADHD, with anxiety and depression. It was nice to know that i wasn’t “Lazy Crazy or Stupid”.

BUT, there is nothing ‘WrONg’ with me. That kind of thinking is self abuse .. we are not broken, pozzitive attitude.

Books to read > ADHD Effect on Marriage, Orlov… Taking Charge of Adult ADHD Barkley

There are several threads on the forums, you might check under relationships.and blogs.

For me, it’ seems’ that ADHD does not absolve us from responsability for our actions, but it does explain how come. sort of.

Anyway, Barkley has some great stuff on utube, ADHD is, it seems different for each of us.

Good luck … ask questions .. enjoy the rollercoaster ::):
