I was just diagnose with ADD about three months ago but at age 27 my parents decided to tell me that I had fetal alchohol syndrom and possible ADD. What makes me so mad is that they knew all this long and decided not to get help for me. All during school I was treated like an idiot and labeled a moron and so much more. I am married to a wonderful man but sometimes I wonder if he doesn't know what it's like to have ADD. I have two kids and I love them but I am around them 24/7 and with no real family support I don't see how I am ever going to get through this. I have a reall difficult problem making and keeping friends and I can't figure out why? For example I had a sitter that I was really close friends with and we attend the same church and now for some strange reason she won't even look me in the eye. I don't know what I did to hurt the situation or damage the friendship but if I knew what it was I would fix it. I am currently on Adderall and Strettera for my ADD but I took myself off the adderall cause it's been causeing complications with my menstrual cycles and since I have been off it I have been a real basket case and I mean literally. With out any friends or support I get depressed real easily and there are no support groups for ADD in the town that I live in, believe me I have checked. I just wish I could find some one that lived near me (I live in Pa) that either knew where i was coming from, is going through what I am going through or can tell me how to survive it, cause right now I feel like there is a rope around my neck and at any moment it's gonna get pulled and I am gonna go down.If any one has any advice I'll take it cause right now I am running out of answers and am frustrated and for just once in my lifetime I want to be happy and I am not. With that I am calling it a night, I will talk later tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent.:Ponder:
