Re: Communication between ADHD people

[Anonymous]

The closest that I was able to find people who are like me are designers. Took me 8 years to actually find a designer GF. But my experience was kind of brutal though. From my point of view, she only listen to half of what I say and make conclusion. Plus she had a bad temper. Not sure if she is also ADD. But my self esteem got beat down very badly from this relationship.

She complained about me NOT saying the right thing at work.

She said that I was too energetic with …. sex (I think some ADDers are a little extreme with this topic. I happen to be the type with unlimited energy… Law of diminishing of return ….) Yeah, she said that I had issue with “addiction” and that I should see a doctor for that..

The only person who actually understands me 100% is a friend I met since I was 5 years old. No matter how fast I talk or how disorganize I am with my speech, he understands me. He is not living in Canada though. So I am pretty much all alone, trying to help myself. My family doctor is sending me to talk to a psychiatrist. But guess what? I don’t think he have an idea that there is a DIFFERENCE between a psychiatrist and a psychiatrist who UNDERSTANDS about ADHD.

So my prediction is, I will waste 2 months just for this one appointment. Fail, go look around for the right doctor with phone number and just ask my family doctor to sign it or make a phone call.

This is my life. If you are suffering from ADHD and if you at least have someone around you who can help you, you are very lucky.

I never thought that I am weird. But this is how I feel about how others look at me…
