I have ADHD . I am 23 years old , 2 children husband full time student and full time employee and everything was just perfect after I was prescribed strattera and zoloft and after 7 months now taking them my systoms are back big time . I feel like my meds lost their effectivenss or I need a different dosage . I feel like I can never be on time , I lose my keys 20x a day or losing always something . I underestimate my time am always getting disciplined by someone for something . People from your bosses , to your childs teacher to your childrens sport coach to your own friends can just make you feel like your just so irresponsible . I am so stressed out and overwhelmed . I can't work full time any more I just want to be able to be there for my children more than be at work , I am missing out on my daughters learning and homework because I cant juggle all of this !View Thread
I am so glad I see your post it made my night because it feels good knowing that someone else feels exactly like I do . It did not help calling a friend who shared words that made me feel so misunderstood like how doctors defined you to be lazy . I was diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year , and I am on meds but the effectiveness is decreasing and lately I have been feeling exactly what you wrote in your post . I can never be on time or have good attendance anywhere I go especially at work . Just like you I feel some sort of guilt if I cant be there for my children if I have to go to work , it drives me nuts . I understand you do not have insurance , but medicine is something that will help however my medicine is not currently helping . I am so stressed I forgot what I was going to type , I am not happy you are living with this but at the same time it makes me not feel screw up . I am not saying we are screw ups , its just people who do not have have add.adhd have no idea , they they think we just need to grow up and get it together , its just not that easy . We have the ability , its the commitment and time management for me . I cannot juggle kids a full time job and school all at once and be on time to every single event , I just feel like I cant do anything right and I am upset for saying that because I am usually an optimist .View Thread
