ok here goes. i rememeber wheni was young i had the choice of going to to boarding skool or normal skool.i chose normal skool but really didnt have an input as it was already decided to send me away for 4 yrs. that would help me learn better as i was fallin behind. wow grt start to my education lol. i wet the bed every day and had hassle of the matron who wass one fat bitch . i had an electric sheet that beeped when i wet the bed,great a bit to late hey already done. i cryed for home and every term my dad would say dont worry son lets try another term it will get better.that went on for 4 yrs.i was 8 and left when i was 12. i was draged to cubs before i went to bording skool.dragged kicking and screaming.just didnt want to go.my choice i thought but no it was my dads.

so holidays where stange as i went to boarding skool i lived near no one so when i came home i had no friends to play with. KInda kept my self busy playing down the beach most of the time and just doing every thing on my own. so boarding skool finished and i went to comprahansive skool and bang. i was the oldest in the class as boarding skool did it differently my name was one they could take the piss out of really easily and i spoke with a plumb in my mouth. i was sheltered from shit skool kids as i boarded. so that day i started a grunting noise which turned in to a nodding of the head and a twitch i my eyes . so yes u can guess it now the shit had hit the fan. lets see how much we can desstoy this lads confidence and push him deep and deep in to the ground. i had 5 yrs of bullying. i didnt do well academitly so i wss in the bottom class and there i was beaten up by all the arse hols. head being banged on the desk at bk of class before teacher got in. kicked in akles with boots so hard that i couldnt get my shoes on. so now we have home life. my dad has is own business and he was always working.i think that all he knew in life. he was always angry and shouting.ie plates of food chucked accros the dinning room as the plates wernt hot or the peas were cold. i was accused of being on drugs at the age of 13.god only knows where i would got them from. i was to hypo and from what i can remember was shouting bk .after all my dad shouted so why could not i shout. my sister did ballett and had all the attention payed on her. my dad actually said sorry the other year about that.wow as if that makes a difference. i used to save the bottle of wine from my parents parties and and hide them in my tuck box from boarding skool. padlock and all .good place for hiding stuff. so i used to drink a glass every morning before skool .i would fall asleep on bus and not get bullied. i took up running and ran for the county and won races and i even beat the boy in skool who was good at every thing. i had to stop as u damaged my knee and had problems which i stil have now. i used to cycle for hrs every where.i think that was my release. always on my own never really good and hanging out with ppl. speak some other time. bye

Whatever I have, it is a £$"%£$%£ nightmare. I am great at advising what people can do, but I can never ever follow it myself. safe = safensound = website member.

Yes, I'm a walking factbook, but when you've finished, just put me back in the wardrobe with the mothballs.

I was diagnosed back in October 2009 about 2 weeks after my 23rd. My life makes more sense but up until then the last 23 years of my life have been full of confusion. Unlike most ADHD sufferers i was always well behaved at school. Every time i got a bit loud and lary the other kids would make fun of me so would become withdrawn and quiet thinking that it was wrong to have a big personality. Because i was slow to pick things up in the lessons and got confused easily i got bullied a lot. the other kids called me thick and backward. When i left school i had no confidence i was on anti-depressants in my l8 teens. I've been on a few confidence building courses in the last few years and my confidence has increased. Ifthere's 1 thing i've learnt it is don't be afraid to be different. As long as your happy with yourself don't let other people bring u down.

No diagnosis for me currently. I know I have it though. What I find so incredible is the similarities in peoples life stories. School issues, bullying, always being in trouble, underachieving academically. Then work difficulties problems with authority, low self esteem, depression, substance abuse. It makes me angry as I feel that there I was with this condition which has effected my whole life and now at 44 I can see what my problem is; I have AADD. I also believe my daughter who is now six has it. Maybe the best thing yet is that at least I am in a position to help her and understand her behaviour and be there for her when she begins to struggle. Right now I think her self awareness is not developed sufficiently to make her realize she's different. I am waiting to hear about my referral to the Maudsley. In some respects my life story is just beginning now that I'm beginning to find some answers.

ahhh why not.... ok, never lived up to my potential im school, always unorganised, imaginative, creative yet lacking in motivation! bullied in infant and primary school, accused of bullying in high school ( i fell out with a friend) never really achieved what my mum or teachers expected. did ok at college and just managed to scrape a btec , then tried to do a hnd whilst experimenting in the world of illegal substances and clubbing, funnily enough i left my course, got several jobs, went out A LOT! met a boy, fell in love, he turned out to be wierd,,,,
new paragraph to prevent boredom.........
started having panic attacks, gave up all things illegal, got diagnosed with anxiety and depression. got rid of wierdo, met new unbeknown to me to be a wierdo, moved in together, got pregnant, had to sleep on the floor as i annoyed him going to to the toilet in the night.....was domestically abused, got seriously ill during pregnancy, had emergency section and out popped premature twins, stayed in hospital for several weeks, discharged ones self as forementioned weirdo made me, took twins home a few days later, did all the feeds etc, kept the house immaculate, then wan*er hurt child (at 7 weeks old) so i packed my stuff up, left him and reported him to social services, more stuff happened but for your sake i wont drone on about it!!!!
had a couple of unsucessfull relationships, my beloved grandma died in the hospital i worked in at the time, i sunk deeper into depression, struggled to be a mother, my aunt suggested i may have add, due to many different factors!! tried again and again to be referred (from 07) then was finally diagnosed late 2009, started medication and my life seems a bit clearer now!!! im still unorganised, but im at college doing an nvq level 3 and if i do say so myself, i think im at the top end of the class (never happend before i swear!) anyway, ive lost interest in writing this now and im sure you are bored of reading. THE END by Emily aged 30 1/2 lol
