I was diagnosed with ADHD about 3 years ago at the age of 46. When I was in the second and third grades I was beaten for inattentiveness in a public school in Pennsylvania. I wish I could have had meds instead.
That's really nice about your friends. The children in my neighborhood like to hang out in front of my house and scream obscenities at me while their mothers cheer them on. The policeman who lives across the street from me is very proud of his son's eagerness to torture a white-haired old man. I have often prayed for an early death.
I take 300 mg of Wellbutrin a day. I'm not as brilliant as I once was but I can usually get through a day without screaming. I have learned how to scream very very quietly. I'm also a little clumsy and sometimes I knock things over. Those are the times when I forget how to whisper.
Right now I'm crying. I need some coffee. When I'm through with this I'll go make some. I love strong black coffee, room temperature, or hot with ice cream in it. Then I'll go work in the backyard some more. If the neighbors start in on me I'll put on my gunmufflers and turn on the radio. They get really irked when I ignore them. Maybe it's because I'm not entertaining them anymore. I'm not being their pet mental case. Time for some coffee and a purple smiley (150 mg. Wellbutrin). Some ibuprofin too so my body won't hurt so much. Thank you God for my medications. See you soon.
