[quote=hilliardmom;1329363]Hi,
I'm hoping this will be a place for me to come to for support when no one else seems to understand..

Well, I am a 63 year old woman who was just diagnosed! Twenty-some years ago I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid, and never got the right medication until about 18 months ago. I thought the thyroid condition was what made me lose my marriage of 38 years, but now I realize it was that, in combination with the ADD. And I asked doctors for years if I could have it and they all pooh-poohed it. Not everyone with ADD has trouble with a work environment... my problems were purely at home... guess that's because all my energy was centered on my job and on going to college, which I did at the same time, and by the time I got home I had no more energy and no more ability to concentrate.

I hope your husband will acompany you to the doctor and will learn
as much as he can about this disorder. Mine wouldn't. He thought it was an excuse to be lazy.l I have had negative chatter inside my head for so many years that I can't stand it. I am currently taking adderall and don't think it is helping.
