Oh Em Gee - Blogs about ADHD are borring!

So, diagnosis is confirmed, I have a condition known as Innattentive Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. You'll see from my last post that I suspected that this might be the case and went about doing a lot of reading. I also thought I might turn to blogging about the subject - blog my journey through the treatment. But OH MY GOG, bloggers on this topic are soooooo self involved and boring zzzzzzzzz! So this is just about the last time I will write about my ADHD diagnosis (unless once I start the treatment I go on drug fuelled rants - could be fun right?). I thought I'd just share some of what I have learnt and we can move on....

  • ADHD effects the 'executive decision making' part of the brain, it doesn't make you crazy or eccentric, you'll have to find another disorder to pin that on.

  • Treatment for ADHD is via stimulants, and no you can't have any.

  • Treatment will not be life changing, rather life enhancing, As my Psych said "much like if you had Asthma and you took Ventolin you just might become an Olympic swimmer".

So no blogs from me about ADHD and productivity, new found reliance list making, big noting my creativity, patting myself on the back for making appointments on time, projecting and feelin tetchy, my long suffering partner, what happens when I foget my drugs, my long life hoplessness which is now okay because the Doctor gave me a reason for it.... really there is enough of it out there.


Peace.
