It annoys me when people say Sugar causes ADHD (we have all heard it) People have sugar because of the ADHD!

Oh I seeee... Are they offering ADHD specific CBT or is it Standart Anxiety related i.e. Change negative thoughts to positive ones....like we have the ability to pre-think our thoughts and actions!! LOL...apparently Brighton Neuro Clinic are going to start ADHD specific CBT soon through East Brighton Mental health Hospital doobry wotsit....Having had extensive CBT in the past for Anxiety, I am intrigued to check it out and will certainly report back on here if any good ;-)

Sounds like you may need to be on a higher dose. I'm on 54mg. I take in the morning. I also have an additional 10mg fast release Ritalin to help me focus in the mornings and get me to work on time.

Yes I set up the Brighton group, after getting encouragement from those in Central London. You could set one up in Wales, I know a chap that moved to Wales that used to live in Brighton, and came to our group. I could get in touch with him if you like... Advice centre's are helping me, telling me what to do, although intellectually I know what to do, but it was the referral from my neuro clinic for a money support advice worker that got the ball rolling, and they are in the process of referring me to social services. Seemed daft at first, I kept kidding myself as I knew my incoming outgoings etc, I could sort myself, but i really cannot control myself. And older chap I know with ADHD who had his own business, no problems managing the business accounts etc, but when it comes to his own finances, it's a different matter, he's soo intelligent I was surprised to hear he has a money support worker. He helped me come to terms with the fact I can't do it anymore. I was struggling to pay rent feed myself etc, and I would get really cross with myself, I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. It has really helped knowing someone else who struggles with the same things. I keep reminding myself it could be worse my impulsivity could have led to an addiction of some sort, I know plenty of ADHDers that do, and through this experience I feel I understand them more. I see homeless people on the street and think how close it could have come for me.

P.S. You know when you have ADHD when you give too much info, regarding thing's like undies and take a whole long descriptive way around saying something simple rather than just getting to the point lol

hey Twix
your post about laundry made me chuckle...I have no clean laundry and this weekend I bought some undies as going to launderette is too anxiety provoking for me. I have sent it all away to be laundered (and I wonder why I have no money lol) and will not get it till Tuesday due to bank holiday.

Fed up with parenting myself, it's like being two people and very tiring. Anyone else having problems managing finances? Don't worry I am getting help, just don't know how long it will take till its actually put in place. My concept of later doesn't seem to exist, it's all about now and convenience when I'm out, I think anxiety as well as impulsivity has as much a part to play. Thing is I don't drink often, certainly don't do drugs, smoke 5 roll ups a day, I'm not even following my hobbies and interests, so it beats me where it all goes. End of the month or now it's going to be all through the month I struggle to feed myself, then when I do have cash in my wallet, it's a coffee here, a bus, some chocolate, some cat food (not for me - yet lol) and a tenner is gone. Money goes nowhere these days... Every single day every single month it's always the same!!

I get prescribed Beta Blockers as a PRN for Anxiety Disorder if feeling panicky, i don`t think it interferes with my ADHD meds, I does make me tired the next day, but i have not noticed hyperactivity after this....

If you get offered C.B.T. ask for ADHD specific, as the usual anxiety model of C.B.T, is technically not very easy for us to put into practice. See Brighton ADHD Support Group website for more details end of June, as our topic on the 4th Weds in June will be on this.
