I really need some help.
// August 20th, 2005 // Uncategorized
Living as an adult with undiagnosed ADHD is truly a challenge that I have real problems dealing with. I really think that I need help, but I can’t afford it being unemployed. It’s a huge strain on my relationship with my wife, and she is really feeling it after so many years. It only gets worse and worse as time goes by. I also suffer from depression which, through research, I have found really go hand in hand. I have really only started realizing my problems, and it totally makes sense to me, but again seeking help is the issue. I usually feel like all is hopeless and I try to tell myself that it’s not really, it’s just my mental issues making me think that. However, I still can’t help but feel this way. I used to be able to deal with it a lot better then I can now. Everything is so scattered in my head I get so confused and overwhelmed. Thoughts come and go so fast I can’t remember what I was thinking two seconds ago. I can’t get organized and simple tasks seem extremely daunting. I have been researching sites such as www.add.org, www.chadd.org. They all say the same thing really. Seek help from a physiatrist and/or an ADHD coach. I would love to get better and maybe some day I will, but for now the job search continues.
Update:
I started a new blog to deal write about this issue.
Update:I am now getting help for this. It’s been a long journey and I just did not have the will power/ability to battle this one on my own. counseling and some medication and I am way to a much better life.

There may be ways to clear up the static in you neurons with nutrition and herbal remedies, too, but a doctors will probably perscribe you something synthetic that costs more. Either way, you can`t just talk yourself out of depression on talk alone, nor can a coach. Tom Cruise would yell at me if I said “chemical imbalance,” (maybe for good reason, since that term is kinda misleading,) but I will say that from seeing people around me dealing with depression, it was always a drug or diet improvement (usually adding a food that was missing) that straightens out the depressed, cloudy, and/or hyperactive brain.
