I am a Mom with ADHD
I have adhd myself. I often see a lot of articles, blogs, and forums about adhd, but its about the children that have it. I was diagnosed with it when I was in the first grade, and pretty much forgot about it as I became an adult. A couple years ago I started reading about adult adhd, and realized oh yeah, that's why I have such a difficult time with the house and the kids. I get so distracted, like my attention goes to something like the computer instead of the kids or the housework. There are many other symptoms of adhd that i have a difficult time with like memory. I will be thinking to myself that I am going to do something, like pay a bill, and 1 minute later, I'll think "what was I going to do." Then I drive myself crazy trying to remember what that was, but then give up. I use to take Ritalin until I was in the 9th grade, but then decided I didn't want to take it anymore. I would like to get back on something one day, but have no insurance. In the mean time I take fish oil and vitamin b complex to help. I know there are some other vitamins that are helpful but I am bad in the first place trying to remember to take them everyday. Well to top that off, my daughter who is almost 4 years old probably has adhd too. She will probably be diagnosed with it before kindergarten. She is just like I was at her age, maybe worse, but that's another story.
