Re: Frustrated!!!

I totally feel your pain. My parents did have me tested, but didn’t want to accept that I had a learning disability/ADD. They did send me to a tutor that wanted to label me as L.D. so she could get more resources, butI told her and parents NO! I was already awkward enough and often picked on and teased. The last thing I needed was a label too. No where in all of the bad grades and being yelled at during report card time, did anyone tell me I had ADD. Until last year at the age of 42. My mom told me she thought I knew all along, but NO! Things made a lot of sense after that. I can’t even imagine how I got a college degree, but I did and it only took 6 years. LOL…I remember as a kid, my parents telling me I was lazy too. But my excuse was always, “I forgot.” Anyway, about 2 1/2 years ago, I had a miscarrage after several fertility treatments. I sort of went on Auto pilot and into a depression. My mind took over and was so jumbled (which I now realize it always had been). I had these self created thoughts that I believed to be true, Such as how people perceived me or that they were mad at me. I wasn’t feeling with my heart. I eventually had a panic attack and got so overwhelmed that I freaked out. I ended up at a behavioral therapist that gave me hope. Dr Mike is the best thing that ever happened to me. It is all about having your mind and body in balance. Been going for over a year and about 1 month ago, in therapy, I realized my mind is clear…no more jumbled mess of thoughts and things to remember. I can literally just sit, close my eyes and my mind is quiet and it is wonderful. This has also helped with my ADD, I have more focus because I can concentrated on one thought. I am not perfect and never will be but since getting my mind and body in balance, things have fallen into place for me. I am thankful to have a good full time job and 9 1/2 months ago we adopted a son after 2 years on the waiting list.

Anyway, just wanted you to know you are not alone in all of this and I am thankful to know I am not alone either.
