I'm wondering how do others cope through things without meds. such as the impuslitivity and the lack of attention and the 'i need to do this, but oh gawd those things!! how do i do this all!- FORGET IT!!! *goes to something that such as a video game*" ... I even need to call the doc to set up a new appt but it just requires what i don't feel i have. it's too overwhelming. how the ___ am i suposed to deal? what is a way i can deal with these things. how does everyone else deal?
When i asked my pdoc he said to deal with it.. i reasked how to deal with it, and he repeated just to deal with it. i got frustratied and was like "kay guess it wont be that bad then" but.. it was just me being passive and now it suxs.
please someone tell me what i can do to take care of things in my life. suggestions.. something.. anything... please!

I understand what you mean. In my situation, it's kinda like the child who grows up in a 3rd world country. Unless he is exposed to how blessed we are here in America, he will think there is nothing better out there, and therefore assume the 3rd world country that he lives in, is perfectly normal and acceptable. I was severely ADHD since day one, but I never knew how bad I was until I started taking medicine and realized what I was like as a normal person. In the mornings before I take my medicine, I experience what life was like back before my medicine. If there is one word I would use to describe it- HELL. It feels like my brain is on FIRE, it doesn't actually hurt, but my brain just literally won't work right. It's going 9054 MPH but it won't let me do anything productive. I honestly act like a mentally unstable person without my medicine, and in all honesty I AM a mentally unstable person without meds. If your asking how to cope, this is probably not helpful but- I don't know. I would never go a day without taking my meds, literally, because my ADHD is so bad, that I can not function.
