If you have kids, or want to. Here’s a short look into the grief you can experience if you don’t get treatment. Treatment is much more than medication. Medication can sometimes be the only thing that makes treatment possible.
Treatment, is therapy, group therapy, education, HARD WORK, following the directions other people similar to you, have given you here and in counseling.
Do life different. We cannot approach life like “other people” we are not like “other people” We are good people though. Never forget that.
This is one of many video’s out there. I recommend the ones here on totallyadd. But youtube can sometimes have good ones too. I got to the last one after watching this one http://totallyadd.com/he-can-focus-when-he-wants-to/ then this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMikx-vjgKc&feature=player_embedded then typed “adult” and clicked on the “adult add” guess that the youtube search feature guessed I was looking for. Got this http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=adult+adhd&oq=adult+&aq=5&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_l=youtube.1.5.0l10.194515.197323.0.201257.6.6.0.0.0.0.263.671.5j0j1.6.0…0.0.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeeN8BwDQR4 picked this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeeN8BwDQR4 from a big list. Cried a lot, then came here to share all this.
Consider getting some complete treatment Megalomantic. The name you chose for your identity here speaks very loudly of a person ripe and ready for this community. The grief that last youtube video triggered was very short. I forgive myself, I’ve done extremely well considering the big picture of my life. I’ll bet you have too.
For many years I’ve answered “I’ve never had it so good” when people say “how are ya doing?” It has never been more true. I used to almost always say that as a joke, then mutter something like “you don’t want to hear the truth do you?”. Because clowning around is an excellent way to avoid the real grief that we go through without treatment.
Helping you helps me. Hope to hear back from ya Megalo.
