Hello out there.

I just joined and although I also have anxiety, depression, among other things, my ADHD is the root of it all, so this seemed like the best place to post for my first time.

Do you guys feel like it's more difficult for us to find love than the average person? Before I was diagnosed (about 7 months ago), I used to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol, as a coping mechanism for my various issues. Since sobering up, I've found that the crazy, volatile, exciting people who I used to find myself drawn to are now giving me red flags, and the other people are just downright boring and just don't get me at all. Therefore, I find myself lying in bed, tears streaming down my face from utterly hopeless loneliness, and just wishing and praying to some higher power to grant me the freedom from the need of other people. I just don't want to need anyone. To be honest, I was hoping when I started medication that the emotional numbness that people complain about would be one of my side effects. No such luck.

Does anyone else ever feel like this?
