Hello Jochem, First of all my compliments for this super site! I'm Maureen and about two and a half years ago I found out that I have adhd, which was a great relief to me at the time, I was in the middle of a nasty divorce, temporarily moved in with my parents with my 10-year-old daughter, which took a lot of getting used to, almost three quarters of a year later I moved into my own house and thought I would finally get some peace and quiet...unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth, two jobs, housework, raising my child, appointments with a psychiatrist, adhd coach at the hospital, adhd coach at home....... i felt more and more miserable and lifeless and my head was completely full and i couldn't think normally anymore.....chaoch,and i kept going because i had to make a living until i couldn't take it anymore and had a burn out! Every day is another battle with myself to do things differently. i still haven't found the right method, but we keep going, although sometimes i get so discouraged and wish i had never known. i never thought it would have such an impact on my life and i feel so insecure and angry!but I have read your story and you have also struggled with it for years and I am happy for you that you have found the right way and I hope that I will be able to do the same. I could go on writing but I won't because otherwise it will become a mess and... Read more
Hello Jochem,
First of all, my compliments on this super site !!!
I'm maureen and about two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with adhd, which was a great relief to me at the time,I was in the middle of a nasty divorce, temporarily moved in with my parents with my 10-year-old daughter, which took a lot of getting used to,almost three quarters of a year later I moved into my own house and thought I was finally getting some peace and quiet....unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth, two jobs, housework, raising a child, appointments with a psychiatrist, adhd coach in the hospital, adhd coach at home....... I felt increasingly miserable and lifeless and my head was completely full and I couldn't think normally anymore.....chaoch,and I kept going because I had to earn a living until I couldn't take it any more and had a burn out!
now 8 months later and still partly in the sickness law my other job i have since lost because i was sick for too long (which i understand) and did not yet have a permanent contract. my other job there i have been working for 12 years so i am that lucky.
Every day is another battle with myself to approach/do things differently. I still haven't found the right method, but we keep going, although sometimes it makes me so despondent and I wish I had never known. I never thought it would have such an impact on my life and I feel incredibly insecure and angry!
I could go on writing but I won't because otherwise it will become a mess and I'll keep repeating myself whaha!
good luck with this site and super that there is such good information on it,
Kind regards from Maureen Collapse
