I do not personally have ADD or ADHD, but I do have a daughter with several special needs including ADHD. She is also hearing impared and has developmental delays, so I can understand the frustration you are going through with yourself. The thing I have found that works the best with her is to have a routine and keep everything as organized as possible. If you are having trouble taking your meds, try posting signs around the house. It sounds funny, but it is the only way my friend would remember. She had one beside her bed, on her fridge and on the bathroom door. If you don't have a day planner, I would suggest you get one. They are very helpful and can really help you keep organized. If you have a plan and know that you can follow the plan or even just make the plan it will make you feel like you have accomplished so much! I personally make lists for the things I want to get accomplished, because with four kids and a busy mind myself I will be doing a million things at once and never complete a single one of them. And next time your hubby says to get fixed tell him you are normal and he needs fixing. Remember to love yourself too, and keep track of your positive actions and forget your minor mistakes because these will bring you down.
