Thanks for the replies to my query, saw my Dr. and no problem! I don’t know if she’s pill happy or she was just waiting for me to ask! Anyway I started on Vyvanse yesterday and it was a good day. I felt much calmer and got a few things accomplished and didn’t get into panic mode thinking about what I didn’t get done. That is huge for me. If everyday is like yesterday the rest of my life will be ok. One side note, I’m not a forum user so am very unfamiliar with the how to’s. That being said I’m replying to Lisamummy and That Guy with ADHD, thank you again.

Just found this site a few months back also have listened to Dr. Russell Barkley quite a bit. My daughter was diagnosed many years ago when she was about 9 and at the same time the Dr.’s involved suggested I was probably the same when I was a kid. Fast forward to 2017/18 and now they say it doesn’t necessarily go away upon adulthood. No kidding. My biggest problem now is I am 60 and I still struggle EVERY DAY! I have multiple projects on the go, my workspace for said projects is a nightmare, I spent Saturday trying to find a receipt for my glasses so I can send it to the insurance company – a WHOLE DAY!! And no I didn’t find it. Before you say get the eye guy to issue me a copy, that WAS the copy.

So back to being 60. The disorder in my life is much the same as it ever was but I am very afraid of being denied an assessment because of my age and because of the stress our healthcare system is having. “It’s just your age causing your forgetfulness” “what would be the point of medicating yourself now – AT YOUR AGE?” NO I say, I’m so tired of being a mess, living in a mess.

So being ADD myself I am 7 years late for your post but felt I had to add my bit. Someone replied that they had a hard time keeping the commandments. Well yes you do and that’s why He came as a man. He left us with two commandments Love God with all your heart and love one another like He loves us. Love God with all your heart means to me don’t divide your faith between objects to worship. Like things, or faiths with lots of gods. Put Him at your centre and the rest is easier. Love one another to me doesn’t necessarily mean like everyone but ask God to help you see them the way He sees them (us). So maybe unload your particular church and find one that speaks to your heart. One with less dogma or liturgy. He doesn’t really care that you cross yourself upon entry or look like you’re paying attention. He wants you to know Him. I think you need a new introduction.
