I only discoverd the symptoms of this conditon about a month ago, I got out all my old diarys before I knew of the symptoms, and my diarys look very colourful now!
However I would say I am having a good few days (which may be down to the incress intake of caffine)
But I keep wondering if I am just imagining it all, could I change if i wanted to, house is always a mess, my head is always full of nonsence, my life feels like a big crazy mess- but I am feeling good. Keep having the though "maybe if I just tried a little harder"
even before i came to the conclusion it was most likely adhd, I would get to a point were I would feel like I can no loger live like this and make a big effort for a while is this normal ?
Put it this way its either Adhd or I just need to get my act together am I alone is questioning it all the time ?

I had a day like this yesterday when I questioned it ! Maybe it was the grandurism that comes with this taking a gripe and saying to myself I was bigger than this ! Then today back down low ! Mood swings too frequent ! Too much turmoil in my life , too much depression, too many issues to even think about ! And when I start I cannot stop ! My house is spotless must be that I have the inattentive version of this or OCD asscoiated with a hyperactve mind with ODD what a mess !!! Shame you cant just plug your head into a machine and get a fresh bill of health ! Tis SHIT

I feel like that often CGG - I think for me it's sometimes because my family think it's all down to me making an effort and criticise when I don't measure up. I often feel pretty useless and can't understand why I just can't get on with things like others do. I've also been diagnosed twice now, because of moving to a new area I had to start again. Even so, I feel a fraud sometimes. I've got a few books on the subject - all quite unspoiled, unread and currently utterly lost. I buy so many things to help me or to help organisation - why can't the act of just getting these things solve the problem instead of having to actually do something to use them?!!
Sorry, off on a tangent there.

Dunno, something sparkly...... *runs away* Errm focus, I used to think it was just me and question my ADHD but its been ages now and its fairly conclusive (anyone who knows me will agree ) and now I don't question it any more...

My friend has a highly scientific way of seeing what time my meds wear off, the sparkly test! Wave sequiny object at twix and watch for the answer.

Can I come and live at your house and maybe, you know, stare at your wall and stuff?

did for a while pre-dx and still for a while post-dx. dont anymore. still have lots of ups and downs frequent mood changes and feeling like a walking disaster zone most of the time, but dont question whether or not its adhd or just me as such.
when i went to get a copy of the form for the dvla that the locum psych filled in (different thread), it was interesting that he spent maybe 10 mins talking to me about the form and then went on to say he was a complete sceptic about adult adhd and would i mind talking to him about it and could he ask me questions to help him understand how it differs from 'other' issues which could present with similar symptoms.
after probably an hour or so, with him firing questions at me, intermittently apologising and saying he was really trying to understand that it was 'real' and thanking me for being open with him, and basically 'case studying' me for the entire session, he thanked me again and stated that i had opened his eyes and had given him a really different view on what he thought adult adhd was (and frankly the stereotype of WHO he thought an adher would be!)
anyway, ummm......yeah, i guess i am trying to say, dont worry, i bet we all self doubt to varying degrees, and worry about it, even after dx, so dont worry about worrying... if ya get me.......

It's simple for me: The Ritalin works ---> proof that it is indeed ADHD
