I've been seeing my psychiatrist for just a few months, twice pretty much. Yet, I think I picked a good one as they listen to me quite a bit and he seems to know a lot about ADD.

Anyways, last time I visited him it was suggested that if I felt that I was still having problems yet felt the medication was working that I might want to also look into therapy. The only experience that I have had with therapy was with my childhood psychiatrist. We talked about how school was going and he would keep tabs on my grades. While all that is good I'm not really in a place as of yet to afford to just pay someone to talk about life.

I've been pretty good about helping myself and I understand that the drugs aren't some magic pill. Yet, maybe it would be a good idea. Yet, what is I'm really trying to get from getting a therapist? What would I really get from having a therapist? I'm not sure that it's worth doing yet.

I've don't have a great support group as it is just family (who understand ADD but yet don't), my boyfriend (who is trying his best to understand my ADD and my moods) and really just myself. I'm learning more about ADD along with why I might do what I do or feel how I might feel. It's a new area of my ADD for me.

AH, yeah, I should say that it is quite possible that more than one of my supporters outside of myself could be ADD themselves. That is my boyfriend whom I live with. We have spend the last 3-4 years learning how to live with one another so we are not going to give it up yet.
