I have huge compassion and empathy with anyone that feels prisoner to the functionality of their mind. I've suffered with adhd my who life, unwittingly, an I've only recently realized it. When I think of how much and how long I've suffered unnecessarily and how much potention I have been unable to fulfill, I am rendered semi-catatonic. On top of my condition I have a spouse who is incapable of compassion for me and unwilling to attempt to care. He puts enormous pressure on me and can be so verbally abusive simply because its of such a huge inconvenience to him and doesn't recognize the validity of my state. I am 31 years old and a mother of 2 small girls, 17 months apart. Having been a stay at home mom with no outside help I feel psychologically overwhelmed and unable to fulfill my duties any longer, with regard to my household chores. I am drained and desperate, I feel alone and abandoned. And as someone who has spent my life helping and trying to "save" others (my husband included) when they had no one else I have trouble accurately describing in words just how painful it is to know that no one is here for me when I am in the worst place I've ever been in my life. The only kind of interest anyone has ever paid to my life is only for vanity sake, the way I look, or what I can do for them. But I have never received the kind of genuine and earnest care I've offered to so many others over the years, strangers and friends alike. This affliction is cumbersome and exhaustive and like so many other problems that originate in the brain, it feels impossible to overcome. I say all this to say... you are not alone!
