Re: Getting diagnosed saved my graduate career!

Kristya,

Welcome to our world! I’m obviously a lot older than you but it took me a long while to figure out that I had ADHD even though I had figured out that my dad had it as did my own son. Well, I knew in my heart that I too, had ADHD but I ‘thought’ that I had it all under control. Yeah, right…….

Finally getting an official diagnosis and a prescription of meds has done wonders for me. It surely hasn’t solved all the problems but it does make me stop and think everytime I get hung up on something. I now stop and think about what the hang-up is. Is it a resource issue or is it an ADHD trait that is getting in the way of my success. Figuring out what is holding me up is far better than the old self-deprecating way- I’m too stupid and just can’t do it!

I think you’ll agree that knowledge is power!
