I too am raising 3 boys,ages 10, 7, and 4. They all have ADHD.
Do your boys have ADHD too?
How old were you when you were diagnosed?
I am 33 and after years of being treated for depression and anxiety, the doctor did an evaluation on me and now he thinks that I have suffered from ADD my whole life, which is why I have struggled so much with depression, etc. He started me on Strattera about a month or so ago. I am slowly noticing improvements but nothing as spectacular as you have noted. Have you ever done regular stimulant treatment or is Strattera your first try too?
I am interesting in having another woman with my same experience to swap stories with. Lately I have had to make sense of my new diagnosis and educate myself on it plus cope with my ADHD boys that my ADHD husband I produced. My whole world is filled with ADHD now and so I need another woman's perspective on how they have dealt with similar emotions.
