| Do you think I have ADD?
Hello,
I'm a 36 year old woman. For the last few years, I've thought that I may have had ADD all of my life, but I still haven't gotten a diagnosis. I was a happy child until starting school. I can remember since Kindergarten, feeling like a bird or animal in a cage, feeling like I didn't belong there. My best year was 3rd grade, when my teacher did lots of hands on visual teaching. After that year, I ended up being in a Talented and Gifted Program for 4th grade. After 6th grade, all went down hill. I had no interest in school and always wanted to be home. I didn't like "having to be somewhere." I never finished anything. I quit school in April of my senior year! I have had over 30 jobs and never worked anywhere longer than 6 months. I have gotten married and now have my own businesses from home and that works for me. I drift away when talking to others. I can't read long passages or emails unless they are distinctly interesting to me. My daughter has ADD. I'm not sure about my son yet..
I was on a diet program a few years back and was prescribed Didrex, a stimulant. I focused so well when I took it! I could do anything for hours and love it and never lose focus. It did not make me hyper.
I recently started having panic attacks and it's really scary.
Could someone tell me what they think?
