It took finding six different psychologists over the span of six years, and countless sessions where I tried to explain how sudden my decision can be, how I always get distracted, how eccentric that makes me and how flappy my whole life is and has been, and all the underlying issues, until I finally met one who understood me and had expertise in the field.

Tomorrow, I will starting with a dose 18 mg of Concerta.

It really sucks it has to be this way. This really is true.

I now feel like I can put down my heavy armor, my sword and my shield.

I wish you luck. And if I may, my recommendation to you is to look around in community groups for health care in your area or region. Take benefit of the collective effort in your region to find the persons or maybe even establishments who know and work with ADHD specifically
