This is my journey with anxiety, ADHD, and trying to figure things out.

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that the meds didn't work well for you. I'm wondering, do you feel like you have to take the meds, or can you cope without them? 

Well That's a complicated question, I am like very much ADHD so it will make things a lot easier in the long run if I have meds on board. I don't feel like I have to take the meds but I want to find something that will help with focus and a few other things and make life a bit easier on myself and a lot of other people.

Hey there,

Just out of curiosity, do you ever experience anxiety? If so, what is that like for you? 

What do you mean by that, I experience the saying/doing something that I am afraid about what my friends and advisors think about it. But that's not even baseline.

Hey there,

I guess my question was do you ever have anxious feelings about anything?  If so, what kind of impact do you think that might have on your life? 

I hope you don't mind, but can I just ask if you have to take any medication such as Xaggitin or Melatonin? If so how does it make you feel? I am only asking becuase I have ADHD myself and I have to take both lots of the medication the Xaggitin to dampen my ADHD and the Melatonin to help me sleep

Hey,

I don't mind you asking at all, I wouldn't post something like this on here without being prepared for questions. I'm not sure if I have ever taken Xaggitin but I do take Melatonin, I don't now off the top of my head what the ADHD med i'm taking right now is but it's working fairly well, we need to up the dosage though. We haven't yet because I have started on an SSRI which is basically a Serotonin booster, for my anxiety and depression.

Yeah I know all about the dosage being upped because mine was 30mg and now it is 36mg and my paeditrition doctor says that just 1 melatonin tablet is enough to knock out a full grown man but I have to take 4 and even that isn't enough to knock me out

I take one and it doesn't knock me out but it helps. We are still in the trial stages of medicine and it's going fairly well beyond the first one. 

Can I just ask, How old were you when you were diagnosed with ADHD? I can personally say that I was only 7 Years old when I was diagnosed and it was an extremely lengthy proccess.

I was diagnosed very shortly before I turned 12, but I have been showing big signs my entire life and we kinda always knew but my official diagnosis was about 4 months ago. It wasn't a very lengthy process for me, one of my teachers filled out a form and so did my mom and I, it was something like on a scale of 1-5 how much do I do this, etc. And the results were I have ADHD and we could have figured that out years ago. 

Well at least you don't have to be called a 'lazy student' by your head teacher like I was (but then again she was the lazy one because she used to run around in high heels) :)

I'm so sorry that you were called that, she wasn't a school teacher she was a scout leader which I count as a teacher. People just knew I was different but not necessarily in a bad way.

the thing is, whenever my old head teacher ran around in high heels is used to make me say to myself 'please fall over' in the hope that she would fall over

I hope you don't mind me asking, but Which country do you live in? I am asking this because there is a group that I go to called ADHD Solutions and I wasn't sure if you have heard of it before

I live in the united states, I have never heard of that before, but i'll look into it. 

sorry for bothering you but the truth is I have undiganoised  ADHD and my parents thought that I was faking it just to get attention to myself and they refused to get me tested for it
