Reply To: Mom of 29 yr old ADD daughter needs advice!

[makwa]

Welcome to the site!, I’m kinda new still myself. I’m not a parent but my advice:
Be patient. Acceptance has to happen before anything else, including accepting that medication, helps. I’m still having trouble grabbing that medication paddle myself, it’s really hard getting past the “you take meds because you’re crazy” stigma.

Another great thing to remember is that not every person with ADHD is the same. So the meds that work for me may be different from the meds for your daughter. I do fully admit though, since I’ve started taking medication, my life has continually been improving.

I have come to the very sad realisation, after many years of a constant rollercoaster ride, that I must accept the fact my 29 year old daughter has ADD.

I think soon this sad feeling will turn into happiness, after of-course a wave of other feelings, which this website has plenty of good videos on!
