Hi everyone!
I'm 53 and have been dealing with ADHD my entire life, I was diagnosed about 15 years ago, but looking back I had classic symptoms when I was a child in school. Back then ADHD wasn't around. I suffer from Depression, Anxiety and I am Bipolar. I have tried numerous medications to help cope with this awful disorder. People do not understand what it feels like to be like this.
I have so many things that need to be completed and I just can't seem to do them, even if I have the time. I get so over whelmed that I don't do anything. Or if I start something I can guarantee that it won't get finished. That is how my whole life it like. I try, I try so hard but I just can't seem to focus, and the more things I have left undone the more depressed I get and it's getting worse everyday. In have so many ideas and things I want to do and plan to do, but I just can't get them done.
I have no friends and I feel so lonely. I need someone to talk to, work with me to keep me focused to finish things but I don't know where to find that person. I have been married for 33 years and my husband doesn't really understand what it going through my mind. He thinks he does, but he don't. He don't help me with much of anything and our relationship sucks. I have no one to lean on for support and I don't know what to do anymore.
I lost my job a few years ago and I have not been able to find steady work. I had decided to start selling stuff on like ebay, craigslist etc. I have a ton of stuff to sell, but nothing listed. I don't know where to start, again I am overwhelmed. I am very capable of doing it, I just think I someone to get me started on the right direction.
With everything in a mess, as most people with ADHD, I just don't know where to start. And I don't know where to go for help. I have been seeing the same doctor for years and I think he doesn't really listen anymore, I feel I need to change doctors to maybe get a fresh set of eyes on my condition. But then again, who? Where do I start.
I came across this website and when I was looking for support.
