Hello Everyone!
I've just recently been diagnosed with ADHD this is my 3rd day on adderall (think that's how it's spelled)- it's 20 mg of amphetamines- 2 x a day and it
hasn't seemed to do anything yet. Isn't that weird?
Anyway, I'm hoping you all can help me a bit. I'm having an impossible time believing I have ADHD- it just seems too easy for me. I have a problem with self confidence, I know. I can be extremely hard on myself. But I don't think I'm doing that now, when I say I disagree with this diagnosis.
I scored a high # on the ADHD adult test, but I guess I don't believe because I don't remember any MAJOR symptoms from childhood.
I'm disorganized in every aspect, can't concentrate... all that stuff, but..... I don't fidget and I'm not impulsive. and those are 2 symptoms.
It's almost like I need a definite diagnosis, and I know that's not possible and I'm REALLY stressing about that. How nice it would be, indeed, to blame my deficiencies on ADHD. "It's not my fault"
Does this sound familiar to anyone?... or am I totally nuts. Is one of the symptoms to dwell on unnecessary things/thoughts for unusually long times? Sorry so long, I'm a rambler just trying to get a handle on this.
Does anyone know of any other specific symptoms? Thanks to you all!
