Hey, stick with us ph0t0bug. To begin with let your mother express her love for you by helping you get diagnosed n treated. This is an act of kindness to her as well as yourself. A big part of my problem even though low self esteem and feeling less than most of the people in my life looks n feels like the biggest, is still my pride. It makes us feel good to help folks, so letting your mom and the people here help you is letting them have the happiness of helping someone. Pride can get in the way of letting people help us.
You can keep on spending time here too. Keep watching the video’s. Read a lot too. It’s good to open up about how much pain this adhd crap has been causing in your life. You’re in the solution now, run with it!.
Plan A
How about finding out where your nephew got diagnosed n treated? I’ll bet that would be a good idea for the first phone call. Then stick with it, follow through has been one of the hardest things for me. It’s really worth it though.
Plan B
Check out as many of the different social services agencies as you can find in your area. Keep a notepad, take the time to write everything down, and be willing to tell them the whole truth about how much this is really affecting your life. It’s pretty clear you’re at a point where you’ve become willing to take some serious action.
Pick up that phone, check for local contacts on the Internet. And I hope to see ya posting here some more. Lot’s of folks here do care, we read lot’s of posts but sometimes just plain forget to post a reply even though we do care about new folks here.
Congratulations on making the beginning of a surrender to the process of overcoming your adhd struggles. Welcome to the team, in a short time you’ll probably start feeling like a bunch of us have got your back. Because a bunch of us will have your back as much as we possibly can on an Internet forum.
None of us tackle this thing alone.
Plan C,
possibly the most important one, is to make yourself a part of this community. Ya can’t get kicked out for writing too much. I promise.
Take it easy
