Breastfeeding with ADHD?

Thank you for the advice. He's on Similac Sensitive, so I think I'm going to look for the Parent's Choice version. My doc put me back on Adderall XR. Today was pretty good. First time in a long time…

Conception and Pregnancy

I became pregnant September 2008 and had to drop my Adderrall. I was nervous as well, but during the pregnancy my ADHD symptoms seemed to be minimized. I agree about the exercise. I also streamlined…

Feel like a fraud?
14 Replies

How do I get rid of these feelings of inadequacy? I'm forever afraid that people will "discover the real me" and find out I'm not all I'm cracked up to be. I know in my head that this is ridiculous.…

Breastfeeding with ADHD?

Update! I finally did talk to my husband and he was way understanding! :-) He said I had done well BFing for six months and we knew that this day might come. He even suggested I start taking some of…

I'm almost 62 and I have battled with the same behavior issues.....From all the posts that I've read, this is commonplace with those of us who have ADD..... It sure makes our lives complex, does it not? Julia

Judy, do you feel like any of the medications that you have tried have helped any? I am not on anything right now, but feel like I need to be, but I couldn't tolerate the side effects of the ones I've tried so far.

Wow. I share the same feelings. When people compliment me I actually feel guilty because I feel like I've some how misled them into thing I did something well.

Monamoo... You are not a fraud... My partner explained it to me this morning in the most unexpected way... She said that ADD is a selfish disorder... we sometimes feel like what is going on in our lives is more of a priority than with anyone else an…

This is so me, i feel judged and constantly feeling not good enough at work and at home. I am smart and can figure most things out but constantly trying to keep up with my piers. I think my ability to save myself is because of my ADHD and the fact t…

oh my gosh! I totally have this!! They call it "the imposter complex" or something, and I totally have it all the time. I totally feel completely inadequate like 99% of the time. And constantly judged and critiqued! Like I am doing everything wrong!…

Cindra replied to Monamoo's discussion 'Feel like a fraud?'
Yep, I feel this way sometimes too but I do want you to be careful because of your post of just having a baby. Baby blues could also be a problem for you unless you have felt the way you are feeling now before the baby as well. Cindra

Susan replied to Monamoo's discussion 'Feel like a fraud?'
Bless your heart and all of us. Have you just been diagnosed recently or for awhile now. I'm still processing all of it myself. It is wonderful though to be able to see that there are others "just like me". Did you figure out you had it yourself or…

How about getting diagnosed when you're 62!? I am so grateful that so much of the stuff written here helps me feel so much less alone.

Judy replied to Monamoo's discussion 'Feel like a fraud?'
I am the poster girl for ADHD...and the H is my hyper mind...not my body. Unless I have to sit through something. I don't like going to movies because I dread the thought of committing to 2-3 hours, but am usually entertained and glad I went. I am v…

Susan replied to Monamoo's discussion 'Feel like a fraud?'
Ditto here. I know what you mean. Finding out all of this when you're 47 years old and never knowing it was "anything". It is a process to work through and I'm about 1 1/2 years into the process and still got more work to do. Do you see a therapist?…

All I can say is that you are soooo not alone. I feel exactly the same way. I think that the entire thing is a process - you just need to learn to accept yourself the way you are. Hey - I will try to take my own advice!

I've been wanting to respond to your post about weaning, and this is the first chance I've had. First, it sounds like you have a very understanding husband, and I think you are making a great decision - glad that worked out. I TOTALLY agree with eve…
