ADHD - help/advice?
Tuesday, December 26th, 2006
BlueIced asked:
I’m 20 years old and although this question may seem a little, ‘im to old’ i’m still asking it.
Of course it started in my childhood, all the signs. My parents are a little old fashioned and didn’t realise the effect of ADHD growing up, without treatment. Sort of the brush it off, medication is only if you have an infection or..You get my point?
Now i’m 20 im understanding more how this has effected my life, To low grades to jumping to one job to the other.
Im never settled. Now I have a job,and its getting to the point where my ADHD is annoying me.I love my job but always am unsettled and always getting shouted at for my attention span and hyperness.
I would like to go to the doctor and see if he can recomend anything. Although im doubtful because i am 20, Its not that this ADHD has just come on, Its now that im understanding and wanting to do something about this.
Because im 20, Will something be done? or Brushed under the table filled with excuses.
Sorry its long thankyou
Thanks for the info, more needed if anyone has experience.
To be honest i feel somewhat bad, going to the doctors if i don’t have a leg hanging off me. LOL. I know its there job, maybe its my doctor whom im not comfy with. I remember getting my tonsils removed, Random. It took my doctors some what over 6 months and over 20 visits. They just seemed to give me meds which helped for a week then back to the same problem.
I will make an appointment;

Does anyone know the best way to word it, I dont want him to think, I’ve read something online…Im getting paranoid about it. I know some people are like that and because im now 20 he may think because it wasnt treated at a young age…Im getting paranoid. I am a paranoid person anyways, which i think is down to the ADHD also. Ahhh, well thanks for the info guys.
