What techniques have you found useful to help with A.D.D.?  |
|
 I have A.D.D. and my childhood years and now as a adult I have always had problems with focus, Memory, and calmness. I get frusterated so easially and lose track of what people are saying to me or staying on task. I hate that I can't stay organized and my small effiency that I live in is so hard to keep clean because I can't stay on task. I hate that I am using medicine hoping it will help me. I hate that I get fired from jobs because of my slow learning thats apart of my A.D.D. I can't seem to explain to employers that I am a slow learner and please don't fire me if I don't get the tasks done quickly or learn them quickly. I am now a live at home mom because 1. I can't keep a job. 2. my son has low immune system so he can't go in daycare without ending up in the hospital. I would love some advice from others that have A.D.D. or know someone with it and how they deal with it successuflly without drugs.

1.  lonewolfnan (2839) | 2 years ago |  I have no suggestions for you on ADD as I have never had any dealings with this matter.However,I read your discussion and noticed alot of simialarites between what you describe and what I live thru on a daily bases and wonder maybe I should get checked?My g/f has a low immunity as well and I know how hard it is to work within their limitations.Good luck and please keep us updated.

 lizzyt2007 (785) | 2 years ago | I didn't know I had A.D.D. when I was a child but life sure was frasterating and had the systems just didn't get tested for this disorder until last year. The stupid medicine I'm on right now gave me majoy insomia yesterday I didn't go to sleep until 5:30am today. Thats one of the many side effects that the medicine can give you. theres others that are worse. I got 2 hours of sleep today and I ain't taking that medicine today hoping to get more sleep tonight. youtube has some add videos here's my favorite.www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkjZcRK

| lonewolfnan (2839) | 2 years ago | Thak you for the link .My dr. has had me on sleeping meds for more than a few years now as I was having major problems with lack of sleep and if I forget one night to take them,I will remember them at 2 or 3 in the morning as I will still be wide awake.With the latest happenings in my life,I will be seeking some professional health to see what is my problem and how it can be managed/controlled so I can lead a "normal" life again. | |

| 2. perrytx (1892) | 2 years ago |  My son (age 24) is ADD and has succeeded in school and life without drugs. He's says things like,"let's see now" to help him remember what he was going to say. ADD people are great at multi-tasking! Like working in a office answering phones,filing, etc. Write things down to help you remember procedures. Can you keep kids at your house? I did that for awhile. That way you can keep your son in a controlled environment and still make some income. Don't let ADD get you down, some of the most famous inventive, intelligent, and creative people had ADD! You are blessed!
