I feel for you LSA – I didn’t know about ADHD when I went through the bad check thing, but I knew what I did was a mistake, and not meant to hurt anyone or gain anything. It really hurts to be treated like a criminal. Please don’t take it to heart – just learn what, if anything, you can from the experience. I’ve had to learn the hard way what I can or can’t handle, and try to have the humility to get help or avoid the things that are just too risky. (I pay all my bills with money orders or cash)
I wonder if you can have someone to help advocate for you with doctors in the future so you won’t be in a situation like that?
I’ll never forget when I was prescribed a controlled prescription for insomnia, and I left the doctor thinking it was an “as needed” type of thing. When I showed up three days earlier than I was supposed to asking for a refill, I was treated like a drug addict by the pharmacy and doctor’s office. I ended up having a horrible withdrawal, including seizure-like symptoms, that could have been life threatening – all because I misunderstood what was told to me during the doctor’s appointment. I was too humiliated to go to the ER or ever talk to my doc about what went wrong. I just went off the med and never asked for it again.
Good Luck – I hope you can get to the other side of this soon!
