Hello I would like to connect with other people on the mental health discussion forum who have adult ADHD. I would like to learn coping mechanisms and options for this mental health issue. After speaking with a psychiatrist she thinks that my symptoms of severe anxiety, depression, Spacey Behavior, unfocused thinking, and overwhelm might be coming from having undiagnosed adult ADHD. Thank you for your continued support, I think this form is amazing.

I have ADD (without the hyperactivity). My psychiatrist tried me on a couple of different meds and made me so anxious i nearly jumped ut of my skin - so, so much for THAT. Coping strategies for remembering, organizing and focusing have worked much better for me.

See if you can get a referral for speech therapy. These therapists work with more then speech problems. They help people learn how to focus better, scanning techniques, improve short term memory, organize themselves and keep organized and use various strategies, tools and tricks to make your life manageable.

This stuff is too hard to figure out on your own. Go to the pros. They have Master's degrees in this stuff.
