Hello!My name is Connie, and I have add and depression. I was diagnosed after pleading with the doctor for over two years. After he scored the test he apologized to me for not listening to me sooner. I have always felt different, as though I was missing something everyone else had. I take Cylert 37.5 mg three times a day and Effexor XR 150 mg once a day.
I am a single mom to 5 wonderful kids. My oldest got married 2 weeks ago. The other four are 13 and under.
I started nursing school last month (this is not my first attempt) and was so overwhelmed with stress, I had a mild heart attack and found out that I am a diabetic. I may have to take a leave of absence from school with no guarantee that I will be let back in when the new class in September starts.
Well sorry for such a long intro,
Connie
I can so relate to a lot of what you wrote. I was a CNA about 10 yrs ago and thought about nursing, but I was just starting to get really bad at that point--I had self-harmed--and so no nursing school for me. I think that it might be neat to work in respiratory therapy once my little ones are in school...I have four boys ages 12, 10 3 and almost 7 mos. ANyway, nice to meet you! Looking forward to getting to know you!
