Hello! I have been a teacher for 11 years. I was just diagnosed but have always know as an adult that I've had it. When I started teaching, we would fill out paperwork for kids and the questions would always make me think of myself. I did not want to be on meds so I coped in other ways until the brain fog, time management, and organization got so bad I got depressed and shut down this year. I am on Strattera as well as Lexapro and Wellbutrin now. I was upset at first because I didn't want to be medicated, but now, I am thankful because I feel so much better.

I’m also an educator. Welcome! And thank you for working with our kids. I’m not medicated at this time but looking at options through my doctor. Getting a psychiatrist.
