Hi All,
If you havn't read my intro about myself, I will run through it again quickly. I am 28 yrs old with 3 ADHD children, and I have just been diagnosed with ADD. I am having a difficult time with feeling categorized. My family all know that I have been diagnosed and that I am on medications, but they say the medications are changing me. Now me I'm not sure that I really notice a difference, except for the fact that now I will tell people exactly what I think, if the situation is called for, instead of hiding in my own little caccoon wishing it would go away. I have now been told that I am thingyie, and that I have a different personality now. But the way I see it is I have not changed much I just am not going to hide the way I feel about things. My husband says not to worry about what they think about me, but I have to say that at this point in time, I feel like no one understands what I am dealing with, and I feel like I dont really have the support of my family, except for my husband who has been great through this whole thing. It feels like my family is only focusing on the things that they veiw are negative instead of the positive things. I just dont know what to do. It makes me feel like they dont want to be around me. Anyone else going through this , or have went through it.. Help!
