For six months now I have known that I have ADHD-C. After the initial relief (so that's why I think the way I do!) came sadness (so much was not my "fault" it was just my constitution...). Unfortunately, I am not allowed Ritalin because of glaucoma. LTO3 was the solution. And yes, it works. Initially, I felt like the "tame" version of myself. Peace in my head and in my day and I wondered if I wanted to become "tame". I was missing my dynamism. Skipped a day and immediately I was stiff with adrenaline again. Soon back to the LTO3. Not addictive perhaps but a welcome new version of myself.

A few weeks back, I was told by the psychologist (I kept running into things I wanted to get rid of) that I had a lot of ADD traits. Fine, I thought, whatever. In the evening I did some reading here and what a discovery..... I read why I think as I thought, act as I did, perceive as I perceived and so on. What a revelation, I was as I was and I am as I am..... No longer a stumbling block on my own leg.... What I will do with/on/against it, no idea. First enjoy my "redemption" and awareness of my past struggles with myself and the rest..... Thnx for all the insights and revelations. Greetz H@ns

Hi I'm Kaatje. For quite a few years now I have known that I am a Hsper. After a lot of struggling I have come to accept that it is me and that it is also very beautiful. 3years ago my patner was told he has add. For him it is still a fight. Together we put our shoulders to the wheel so we can enjoy being ourselves. Because I was looking for good information, I came across this site. With all the tips we can make progress. I found out that many characteristics are the same. Because I am very sensitive, I can detect more quickly when my partner gets stuck. So I can help him in his process of accepting it. This is my story in a nutshell. Kind regards Kaatje

I have ADHD and a few months ago I went to see a new doctor. he asked me what I weighed and how tall I was and wrote me a prescription for concerta in an insanely high dosage of well over 100mg, I started taking it until a few days later I suddenly felt very weird, I couldn't get up from the sofa if I was standing anywhere I fell over and I became incontinent. My girlfriend sent for the doctor who examined me but couldn't find anything. I did have to go to hospital for a CT scan, on those images they saw that a vein in my head was blocked.That's called a stroke, I learned then, From then on it was hospital in and hospital out for all kinds of tests, an EEG which is a brain test, which was good.Pictures of my heart, along the front went easy but for the back I had to swallow an endoscope. ok good. teon an eggo of my carotid arteries, also fine. I also had to walk around with wires on my chest and a box for 24 hours because they wanted to see if my heart was beating regularly, and it was. Then the professors scratched behind the ears, where would this stroke come from today. Then I made them read the leaflet of Concerta and the tears fell from their eyes a high dose of this medication can cause serious conditions like stroke. It is not weird that my now banned from taking Concerta anymore but myself and my friend missed it. Now I ordered a bottle of LTO3 and now I take 3 pills daily and it works.

It is not us who are missing something but the others who are missing something. For me, being healthy and happy come first. These two therefore go hand in hand I think. In my view, most of society seems to have another goal in mind and that is their work and money. I see married couples living alongside each other and families whose children are more in care than at home. People bent over backwards to pay their expensive mortgage or pay off their car. Strange, then, that they choose this even though it makes them unhappy. People who consume food and know beforehand that it is very bad for them. They may be eating what contains poison actually but if you show them the probiotic Kefir, for example, there are many who stumble backwards and don't even think of taking it. Strange really that people then actually take the poison with mouth watering and abhor the healthy. Not that I never eat Chips, mind you. In any case, I often fail to understand other people and their reasons for doing certain things. What I do find is that many causes are also to be found in the society we live in. My compliments for this website.

Hello all! I am a creative entrepreneur/drawer (33yrs). Happily married and have 2 little girls. It has been a month since I found out that I have many similarities with ADD. I feel good with this discovery and it is already having a positive effect. I am getting better at even tidying up, planning, housework (hopefully permanently too ;) and the relationship/communication with my husband is also improving. The book on the Davincies of our time, I also find immensely interesting. I finally feel I can go deeper, in terms of personal development. At the same time, I also have more and more questions (to which google also has no direct answer, or maybe I don't know the right questions to ask. Yesterday I was looking for the difference between ADD and giftedness/HB. The characteristics overlap quite a bit and now I am wondering, do I have both or 1 of the 2. From those around me I am advised to get a diagnosis, but I prefer to do that in the new year. It is fun and also exhausting to sort everything out. I always seem to have the rarest things coming my way and literally live out-the-box. Both a gift and a burden. Fortunately, I have a positive attitude, so I get by. I'd love to hear if anyone else recognises themselves in this as well. Greetings Alicia

Dear reader One of my own sayings is being stubborn is not a bad thing if you are right and don't hurt others with it. Yes, I live my own life and arrange it in a way that makes me happy and gives me happy moments. I am creative in e.g. bringing the right people together to get them to make great presentations, either personally or in teams. All this does mean, however, that I overshoot myself and want to reset in time. If I forget this or have to continue due to circumstances it goes less with and I close myself off and disappear e.g. a few days in hotel sin count and without letting my beloved know anything . Selfish I don't know Ht I . Eem myself in protection . I do realise afterwards (it's a nice place to live) that this worries the people I love very much. The other day this happened again and I promised to seek help and. I took a test by Karin windt and visited a psychologist. This one indicated with all probability ADD . We are now looking for a centre where I will be tested. Just this discovery alone gives peace of mind and many answers are answered about min life . Yes that I am a go-getterbbn .

My daughter used to be diagnosed with ADHD, which I found strange: she was not hyperactive at all, but very sensitive. I tried to give her guidelines on how to deal with it, which did not always go well. Now she is an adult and has a friend who understands and helps her very well. She sought help again because she became more aggressive. Now she understands it better and had herself tested again to find out where she stands now and to my surprise, she was told that she has ADD and was given a counselor who will help her with letters from the uwv and where she can vent her heart so she doesn't become more aggressive. I am very proud of her, I gave her a boss who is now coming into her own. Also thanks to my son-in-law who is always there for her.

If you call yourself Jochem, I hereby call myself Nicolette (28 years old). Exactly for the same reasons ;)! What an interesting and informative site you have put up! Very practical tips and as an ADD/HSP, I am a big fan of them. I recognise myself in your storyline which is quite a relief to read. So huge thanks for that because sometimes I feel like such a loner among all the sheep. I've been trying to find balance for over five years now. Only because of the ADD it all takes a bit longer and I get distracted again a bit too quickly by all sorts of things. I have read books on HSP and other subjects, which I can definitely identify with, but on forums I notice that they are a bit of a complainer, the 'floating bitches'. Very nice to read that you turn it into something positive. Because let's face it, no day is the same! I have ordered the LTO3 and am going to test it out. I'm actually anti-medication myself and believe in a good balance between nutrition sports and structure. It's only the high pressure at work and the irregular shifts that make it hard for me to concentrate, and sometimes I still struggle with ADD symptoms. Who knows, maybe this will help for now and give a set for a while. I will be promoting your site on this one!!! :) ..

Hi Jochem, I happened to land on your page via a search on fb and so started reading your story. I don't react quickly to such stories, but your story really struck me. I don't know if you are effectively 29 or not, but if so, you seem older and wiser. I'm also glad I hit your site by chance and indeed not a complaints site. I'm not the type that seeks extremes and challenges, but I have a series of diagnoses of which I sometimes think: when someone sees these listed, they think I'm in psychiatry in a straitjacket and am not capable of anything anymore or am constantly talking nonsense, whereas I'm just 'different' and no more than that. I have also developed fibromyalgia, suffered from chronic depression since childhood, my health is also deteriorating over the years but in recent years I have also come to realise that a lot is in food and in other things than the 'science' promotes. So thank you for sharing your story, for me it's a boost at a difficult time, which makes the feeling of hopelessness go a long way and gives me courage again! Merci!!! Greetings, Ellen

Hello Jochem, thanks for the tips. I signed up to get some tips and guidance, it's not so much for me but my husband, son and daughter are all known to have adhd. Recently my daughter was also diagnosed with adhd, which I didn't expect in her case but thought she didn't know how to deal with emotions. Now she is also coached in this, but what I sometimes come up against is that all three of them can talk about the same subject, but one thinks in pictures, the other can tell, while I see that they are talking about the same subject. I hope to learn more through this site. And how others deal with this who have adhd. I would in any case like to thank you for the tips you provide. Kind regards, Miranda

Hello Jochem, Thanks in advance for all the effort, time and energy you put into supporting people with HSP and/or ad(h)d in this way. I myself have always known I am "different" and think differently, much more deeply than most people. Learning to live with this is a daily battle with myself. As an HSP child, I grew up in a family where there was always a negative and aggressive atmosphere. Due to my low self-esteem, I was never able to develop or discover abilities in myself that I must have had during my childhood. No positive feedback from my parents or genuine interest shown in hobbies I was good at or a school education for which I would have been motivated. I was intelligent enough, achieved very good grades and was a well-behaved, quiet and very dutiful student. My one-year-older sister took economics in high school and my mother automatically assumed that I followed that same boring direction. For her, it was the easiest practically speaking, and although she knew that I was unhappy during my childhood, she never stopped or thought that a different choice of studies in a different school would have suited her daughter's character better. Since my own family mainly only thinks very rationally and scientifically, I have been very interested for a few years now in the -till now- knowledge about how our brain and nervous system works! Of course, I am not capable of understanding everything I read about here. But I really hope that within x-number of years there will be scientific data and studies that can prove that these...

"different" and think differently, much deeper in fact than most people. Learning to live with this is a daily battle with myself. As an HSP child, I grew up in a family where there was always a negative and aggressive atmosphere. Due to my low self-esteem, I was never able to develop or discover abilities in myself that I must have had during my childhood.

Since my own family mainly only thinks very rationally and scientifically, I have been very interested for a few years now in the -till now- knowledge about the functioning of our brain and nervous system! Of course, I am not capable of understanding everything I read about here. But I really hope that within x-number of years there will be scientific data and studies proving that this "character trait" can cause someone a lot of suffering if a parent, teacher or educator handles a child who is HS in a completely wrong way. We give far too little thought to the position of power these people hold over a child. Primary school teachers in particular should definitely take this into account that HS exists in order to intervene in time before these children's self-confidence is too badly affected.
The media should also react more positively to this so that older people too are still open to it. In the meantime, I wish you many more positive reactions with everything you are doing. It gives us a lot of support and satisfaction to be able to read and learn how to deal with ourselves in the best way!

Hello , my name is Ingrid . Mother of 2 a daughter 11 ppd-nos and son 9 ADHD and myself also ADHD. Six months ago I didn't trust my son's mood and started looking for help outside the mental health services. I ended up at the Groot mentaal beter foundation without me knowing, Sander was the doctor there at first he started talking about concerta but that was soon over because I didn't want another one. I did buy LTO3 and Sander agreed. With my son it didn't do much however my daughter is there too she came up with it herself so before the holidays I switched her to lto3 she is doing super. Her anger is no more or less with aggression, she talks about what,where and how it feels. I am very happy with it and we are going for it. My daughter and son are back to how they were before their medication and that is their own self and I find that more important than what others think. What and how they are unique and they are allowed to be. Greetings from a proud mum and thank you, Jochem, for winning me over.

Hello Jochum. I want to let you know through this message that I find your informative site enriching. Your own story (about me) is like two drops of water on my own application. I read through your site in small chunks(concentration problem) Now I have been in reset mode for quite some time with bad and good days. Thank you for sharing the tips and experiences. PS at a later stage would like to send you my experience.

Searching and searching the internet for information, I landed on this site! It really has become THE site!!! I recognise myself so much in so many things I read on it!!! The nicest thing is to get information about ADD from someone who knows what they are talking about, because it is their own experience! Greetings Pieternel
