Hi I'm Maria,

I'm 27 years old and I was diagnosed with ADHD As a child & its been very hard living with, and now as and adult being told I'm still being affected by it wasn't easy. I'm not giving up & I know I'm not alone m, but it's times my brain is spinning in cycles because of the ADHD. Being indecisive, inattentive, procrastinating and being easly distracted is a lot. I'm easly overwhelmed also. I'm considering taking medication I took it as a child ready to revisit that conversation. I'm praying I can overcome the symptoms and learn to live with my diagnosis.

blessed you all.

It is indeed hard to accept what you had as a child is still with you today. It looks/feels different, and you want to shrug it off and be independent from it. I've felt pretty haunted by child/school memories of wrestling with my inability to focus and just procrastinating over and over again as I felt worse about myself. I didn't want to accept I still had this condition, but after talking through it with friends, family, my wife, a counselor, I've come to realize and accept that; I was trying to be independent and whole without a medication, without a strong focused effort to rebalance and aid that which was imbalanced and broken. Once I accepted that my 'normal self', who I was created and made to be was that which the medicine helped me be (versus the opposite of my normal self without the medication is messed up and broken), that helped a whole lot. Be blessed to be a blessing.

Thanks a lot Joshwa91

I'm pushing through and reading your comment helps. I took medicine as a child and it helped a lot with focus. Hopefully taking it as a adult will be just a helpful. Glad the meds are working for you keep going it only gets better.
