I've been anxious now consistently for about a week worrying about the same thing I worry that ADD makes me unable to work. Right now money has been very tight and more than ever I need that working income but I feel uncomfortable and fearful of work, I just feel mentally handicapped. Reducing dairy products has made my life better in that I don't suffer from lethargy, severe bloating and even my concentration has improved but I still worry that it's not good enough for me to work. I even forget to do basic things like putting the dishes in the sink after I eat. When I cook I forget to turn the stove off. It's things like that that makes me afraid to work because I don't want to be working and seem incompetent. My ADD has ruined my life has made it hard to study it has been so painful for me for years. Getting teachers that understand always help but I still can't seem to help to think that my attention could still improve. As far as being at home I'm still not independent at home and to be able to work you have to be independent at home. I'm just wondering what more I can do? I called counselling but counselling is 6 months away and the counselling system here is awful. The lack of attention that I have in the system is ridiculous and they should be ashamed in the fact that a teacher has done more for me in terms of actually listening to my concerns then those morons in mental health.

So sorry about your anxiety. Have I mentioned Dr. Claire Weekes' book/audiobook "Hope and Help for Your Nerves"? There are also clips on YouTube.

Have you recieved an offical diagnosis for ADD? If so, by whom? and how long ago was that?

Since you brought up diet... maybe you have food sensitivities... have you thought of eliminating gluten? An "elimination diet" (you can look it up) to check for sensitivites might be worth trying.

Yes I was diagnosed with ADD in 2013 and give dexamphetamines I was on that for a few years but it never helped me. Ever since reducing dairy I've found that attention span and bloating has dramatically improved. I don't have any issues with gluten. I will be seeing a naturopath to see if there's anything else I can do and do the proper hormone testing to see what is causing the acne and eczema that I'm going through
