Re: Thought I was developing early onset dementia

[Anonymous]

Personally, I was pretty sure I was bipolar! I’ve been on antidepressants for (wow, has it been that long?) 10 years or so but about 5 years ago my doc retired. Talking with the new doc I told him I still didn’t feel as well as I would like. Most of the things I told him about you all would probably find pretty familiar but I thought I was plain nuts and had been unwilling to say anything about it. He looked at me and said ADD. It was a revelation! At the time I thought only little kids were diagnosed with ADD, I was in my thirties.

Since then, between the meds and the methods I’m learning to be better. I’m not there yet but I’m learning.

Finding this site is a revelation all its own. For as long as I’ve been working on this, people have been trying to help but none of them are really “in it” so they there are some things that they only think they understand.

It’s good not the be alone on the ride.
