I had ADHD as a child, and when i turned 16 i was taken off of my medication and all the help i was getting seemed to stop as the doctor i was seing only delt with childhood ADHD. I got my first full time job at 17 and i struggled with the change for a little while, but managed to over come it.
Pretty much as soon as my daughter was born in 2008. i had trouble adjusting. i was told i had PND given some tablets and sent packing.
i moved house and went back to work in 2009 and with going back to work +baby and moving house. things got bad again and after a few months i noticed some of the sign of ADHD that ive had before.
I went to see one of my local doctors (the doctor that knew me well left) and was told the chances of having adult ADHD was very slim as most adults out grow :/ (i found out today its actully 60% of dults dont) i was put on anti depressants.
2009 - onwards im still having trouble and its really getting me down now, my mum has said she still sees the signs in me now that i had when i was a teenager. and its also affecting me and my husband as he doesn't understand ADHD. things are getting worse now as ive started a new job and im having trouble getting used to the change again.
Ive lost all confidence in myself, i cant concentrate on on reading anymore 5 pages and i have to stop for a break. my daughter wants me to sit with her for a cuddle and a dvd, and after 5mins i have to get up and do something.
i have no idea what help is around for adults as ive never been offered any
i just dont know what to do
ive also not been able to hold a job down for more than a year since late 2009
i used to be quite organised.... everything has gone out the window
if it wasn't for my daughter i would done something to myself by now.
help please??
