I am sorry. My struggle with ADD has been going on like forever. For a long time I was not even diagnosed and now im just strarting to find out how I can manage my symptoms. On a good day I just suffer from lack of concentration, but if I havent had enough medicine I can easily start to get majorly dysfunctional and even anxious. Most of the time I just feel unconcentrated.
My therapist says im better now compared with last year, but i put that down to treatment. Alcohol will spoil any chance of good health in your life. If you dont find your way back to sobriety you will se your body and mind decay. My psychological well being depends hugely on knowing that his world is satisfying.
