I’ve found that it goes well beyond all of the getting my feathers ruffled over something not directed at me specifically, and into direct accusations immediately from those around me. Like last week I was having an off day, and the medicine I took for my cold was NOT working well with my ADHD meds, so I called mom to see if she would grab the kids from school and before I could say a word as to why I felt poorly, she accused me of being drunk or on drugs! I am very rarely either of those things, especially when taking care of children is on my schedule, so I was taken aback to say the least. But I say this, because I do feel like people always expect the worst most horrid things from me, whether they’re something I’ve done before or not!
Anyway, I think we could start some groups in the communities we’re in, if we all support each other in the groups. Has anyone out there who’s been to a good group got any suggestions as to how to start? What sort of topics, where to get info on topics thats reliable, or how to find other ADHD adults in our respective areas?
