Dear members of this amazing forum, I am really worried about my friend. One of my closest friend's was diagnosed with ADHD just a couple of years ago, well into his late 20's. Whilst the diagnosis has provided him with an explanation for his symptoms, it has done little to help his self-esteem. My friend has disclosed to me recently that he often considers suicide. He believes he is a nuisance to those around him - a burden. He forgets things, loses concentration, has difficulty with social anxiety and a strained relationship with food. He really needs someone with ADHD to meet with him face-to-face to let him know there is light at the end of the tunnel. He knows he will never be cured, but he needs someone to show him how to live with ADHD. Despite what he thinks, he deserves love. But he needs to hear it from someone who is/has been in his shoes. My friend lives in North Devon, but is regularly in Berkshire/London. At this point, I would drive him anywhere in the country for the chance to speak with someone. Please email me at rich235@hotmail.com if you can spare 30 minutes of your time. I'll even buy you lunch! Your help could save a life. Many thanks,

No idea why my message did not come through?
Short version:
A very close friend finally diagnosed at 28yo with ADHD, explains, but doesn't heal years of being told he is useless. His self-esteem at rock bottom to the point that he considers suicide daily.
He needs to meet with an adult who manages ADHD and has been through what he has to prove there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm struggling to get through to him.
HE lives in South-Wect and works in London. I will drive him anywhere in the UK and buy dinner/coffee.
