Hi all. I'm a 39 yr old male who has had add my whole life. As a kid I
was just labled lazy, disruptive, innatentive, and more. Always got
into trouble for talking too much (still do). Nobody understood the
intense anxiety I would experience when I would try to do most any
task. My psychologists at the time always said "gee your IQ is in the
140s, why do you fail school??? Duh...thats why I went to see them!!!!!
I was officially diagnosed 4 years ago, but my pshchiatrist was
so...well uselesss, I gave up. He told me He wont see me untill I was
totally drug free for 6 weeks, but no offer of help or advice.Now I
get by, bareley. Most people just think I talk too much and am hyper,
If they only knew. I self medicate, pot mostly(since I was 13),
sometimes alchol, and various benzos, but I know I cant keep up like
this. The frustation and depression just keep getting worse. Can
anybody reccommend a good MD or therapist near NYC or Queens with whom
they have had a positive experience? IS THERE HOPE??? Thanx for
listening to my rant.
