I have not been professionally diagnosed with ADHD but I have the majority of the symptoms. I am trying to figure out how to cope. Not to mention I just had a baby 5 months ago and this seemed to amplify all my symptoms. I wouldn't think it was a problem but it is effecting my life!!! I can't get up and get ready for work on time, so I am always late just about every other day ( and I cant afford to lose my job I work for gov't) and I have no leave because i used it when I was on maternity leave so I am not getting a full pay check and that is effecting me because the bills are piling up and I cant afford them because I am not getting full pay checks. ( see the snow ball effect? and thats just my job and money problems.) I also cant keep my house clean for more than a day and I dont have time to cook plus the kitchen is a mess so I am not motivated to cook...so I have been going to bed hungry in a junky house...it is wearing me down...so I try to take my mind off of it by playing with my son....when we get home in the evenings I play with him, feed him, then i fall asleep while putting him to bed. I hate the idea of a schedule but everything is so hetic and screwed up that I dont evening find time to take a shower....I know it is a gross thought to think I only take a shower maybe 1 or 2 times a week its something I am not proud of but I think I really need help!!!!
