Reply To: MY LIFE IS HAS BEEN CYCLE AFTER CYCLE OF COMPLETE FAILURES

Alas, “discovery” ain’t an on-off switch. ADD will dog you your entire life. Meds may help. Other strategies also may help. But you’ll likely always have challenges. You’ll find this forum is divided mainly between people who think AD(H)D is a terribly debilitating disorder and those who think it’s the greatest thing since e-mail. A few will say it’s “just an alternate neurology.” While I suppose that’s basically true, I’m not sure that’s much more helpful than the view of people (like myself) in “camp one.” It’s certainly not going to help turn your life around.
I imagine there will be a flurry of posts on your string. You’ll see for yourself how diverse opinion is among people diagnosed with Attention Deficit. (And I’m sure the same thing is true of people diagnosed with lots of things.) Here’s hoping that meds can make a big difference for you. But you’ll undoubtedly need more than that. The site is chock full of tips.

I’m so sorry your life has been so difficult. At least you now know it’s not all your “fault,” for whatever that’s worth. Best of luck going forward. And welcome.
