Hello everyone. I am new in here. I guess you could say that I wanted to be able to find a forum that was full of caring people. People who can relate and understand. I am 28 years old. I haven't been given any real direction(or support) in my life. I couldn't afford college, and I couldn't hear most of what was going on in High School to get a scholarship. Felt left out socially. I managed however, by keeping a job with a well known grocery store chain. I am sure there is a way that I can find financial aid (I do not know sign language). In the meantime, I have a doctor's visit pending...to see what is wrong with my lower back. I had an accident at work a couple years ago. If I am put on disability, I will use this free time to see what options are out there for me. Those are my basic complaints...and most having to do with past abuse and hearing impairment.
I have a boyfriend that I am living with. He is 34. He is seeking diagnosis and counseling for what could be ADD. As much as he drives me nuts, I love him and plan on supporting him as much as he will let me. If he continues on with his counseling, I will offer to go to a couples counseling. Does anyone else have a partner who has been diagnosed with ADD?

Hello MissyWoo and welcome to the forums here. Many people here consider this place just what you describe: a place full of caring people that can relate and understand.

It sounds like you have a good plan for improving yourself, your situation, and your life. I wish you luck, and hope that being here can help along those lines as well. I also hope that your boyfriend finds help with his ADD or whatever it turns out to be. It is a very good idea to go to couples councilling or a support group for ADD together. A support group can help him with his ADD, you being there will help by showing him he has support and will also help you learn about ADD, what to expect, and how both of you can cope with it together.
