I was told today that I do have an attention problem and my psych strongly thinks its ADD. I am taking STRATERRA starting today and it will
take a couple weeks to feel it. I believe also that I could possibly have it.
My whole life I have struggled with my capability to pay attention and now, I'm hoping it will help.
My mom is in denial or she thinks I'm faking...
Its hard enough being bad in school, but your mom thinking your just a lazy person hurts. When my psych told me this, I thought, just maybe, it wasn't my fault I couldn't focus on things and I wasn't just a lazy person. It felt good to have an understanding that I'm not stupid, I just have a problem. And to know its not my fault I suck in school, makes me feel happy, mostly relieved.
Relieved would be the best word. I don't feel as stressed to goto school because I feel that this medication might actually help and I won't have to be in a constant state of frustration and confusion and helplessness and worriness. Along with my anxiety, I feel less stressed out and I might just become more comfortable near poeple.
I am hoping so much that this WILL work and I will go on to a path of success and no longer a constant failure and just getting along in school and life....
