Hi, my name is Stephanie
and I have adult ADD...
No, that's not it.
"It's just like having diabetes or high blood pressure
you can choose to treat it...
or go untreated."
"Just because it didn't exist 100 years ago
or even thirty years ago
doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
I'm just trying to get over my stigma
of being diagnosed with ADD
and not feeling like a child.
In my mind ADD = childlike
not being able to function at a normal adult level.
But maybe it's more like my body is just not producing
such-and-such chemicals
therefore I need these chemicals to balance that out.
Like insulin and diabetes.
I just kinda wish I could see a scan of my own brain
instead of just a science book picture.
Or maybe if I met some successful adults
living and coping with ADD
maybe it would make me feel better...
