Any mamas with Adult ADD? I've never been "diagnosed" but suspected for some time that I have ADD. A classmate of mine back in college lent me a book on Adult ADD and I recognized most of the symptoms in myself.

This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.

So I hope you don't mind me piggy-backing on your thread. I definitely have always had many symptoms of both ADHD and SID. I have refused to seek a dx or treatment because I do not want to be medicated for my "problems" - actually, I've never really seen my quirks as problems until recently when it came to my attention that it's seriously affecting my ability to make friends. People who have known me forever know who I really am, but people who don't know me make assumptions about me that just aren't true. It's never been a problem before, but now it is. I used to just not care what people think about me, I know who I really am. But now I care, and I don't want people to think bad things about me... Anyway, my question is the same as that of a previous poster. What can they do for me besides medications? And, where should I go to seek the help I so desperately need?

I know.....that is why I am finally getting help. My 5yr said I never listen to him and it hurts his feelings. He says "Mom.......mom......hey mom" about 10 times before it clicks that he is talking to me.

), and the meds helped me to 'focus' my thinking a lot better, and not get too scattered. My relationship with dh definitely suffered too....simply because I was all over the place. Knowing that makes me believe that it's also better for dd if I do have this more under control....I need to be the best possible parent that I can for her, even if I have to do things that would ordinarily be unacceptable...
