I have been on medication for a few months and finally it is almost windless in my head. It was so busy in my head that it was driving me crazy myself. I am also very forgetful chaotic.<\/p>\n<p>Now try to keep a diary on my phone because a regular diary gets lost :p<\/p>\n<p>I have had a very troubled period. Now everything is finally starting to fall into place a bit. Starting to understand myself better and understand why I do things the way I do. People around me respect me and understand that some things are harder for me than for an average person without <a title=\"ADD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/add-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">ADD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If my interest is big enough, I do remember those things. I store what I need myself and the rest goes to waste.  My storage is just not that big. I am easily distracted and if the TV is on, I find it difficult to follow a conversation. You have to look at me and tell me and only then will I listen.<\/p>\n<p>I completed and passed an MBO course for the first time last year. That was good for my self-confidence. I also managed to hold on to a job for the first time in 3 years which I am also very proud of.<\/p>\n<p>I do still have counselling from someone to talk to. It helps me sort out my head and make me understand better who I am and why I am the way I am.<\/p>\n<p>I am finally happy with who I am.<\/p>\n<p>From now on, everything can only get better.<\/p>\n<p>Greetings Nicky<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-marketing-button uagb-marketing-btn__outer-wrap uagb-marketing-btn__align-center uagb-marketing-btn__align-text-center uagb-marketing-btn__icon-before\" id=\"uagb-marketing-btn-bc07d9fd-afab-465d-bd82-96e12407b527\"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/category\/life-stories\/\" class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__link\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener \"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title-wrap\"><h6 class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title\">View all submitted life stories here<\/h6><\/div><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix\"><\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Received life story of Nicky The many impressions of someone with ADD Hi, This drawing is about me and I have ADD.
