So I have had ADHD all my life but I had no idea majority of it because my mother felt it best I just go on living as normal as can be without making me worry or think too much into it. In high school I abused meth for 2 years and excessively drank alcohol and was eventually sent to rehab at 16. (I have read that drug abuse is at a much higher rate for people with ADHD, which is why I ask my question) I became clean and still am (4+ years) then I began seeing a therapist on my own three years ago because I realized that the people around me didn’t seem to have minds as cluttered as mine nor did they have such a hectic high school experience, after speaking with the therapist he asked if I had ever been diagnosed with ADHD and he sent me to another doctor who then diagnosed me. I never followed up on the appointments and have since still been unmedicated. I now feel more than ever that I need help with my ADHD because it seems to have gotten worse. I am looking for serious answers, please no b.s., thanks!
I grew up in a very loving home with no substance abuse and my parents had no history with ever having an issue with anything besides eachother =P
I was/am the rebellious child/young adult of the family so I would have to rule out the environment I grew up in as a reason for my drug abuse.

mom and dad visted flordia recently to see my sis she told my mom that she saw drugs in my bag… not true I am 55 she is 48 the only thing I am addicted to is fishing

It’s been a few years since she passed away, but I don’t want to let her down.

her mom has been an alcoholic for a really long time and sometimes she cant even go home at night because her dad thinks its unsafe and i’m sure it is..she takes up all her time at church and dance because she never wants to be at her house..by just meeting her, you’d never know any of this was going on because she is a beautiful girl on the inside and out. she lives her life through God but i cant help but think something’s bottled up inside her. lately, shes been saying “i cant do this anymore” and “i cant go on like this”..is she thinking about suicide? i feel like if i asked her, she think i was crazy for asking, but i’m really worried about her. i dont want her to get hurt or do something bad..is there anything else i could do to help, other than be there for her and have her over whenever she needs it? plus her family is low on money but she needs money all the time, i have no idea where she gets it from..i just dont know what to do…

i have lived with my grandmother since i was born my mother has never been around me because she was on drugs i just dont know what to do

I was very close friends with a girl about a year or two ago. We did the usual low key drugs and drank together. We were best friends before that even started. I tryed very hard to not even let her smoke pot because I knew she had such an addictive personality. I have never been closer with anyone in my life than I was with her. Long story short she got involved with a guy and he warped her and convinced her that I was a loser. I never forgave her and we are acquantices now, with deep wounds. I am drugfree now. I still care about her very deeply. She became a pothead. I found out today that she is using heroin. She is not even 17 years old. This is not the country it is washington DC. Her father died about 2 years ago and her mother gave up trying to protect her a long time before that. I was the last person to find out and I guarantee that I will be the first if not only person to act. Does anyone have any advice? Take into account I talk to her about once every 6 months very briefly.

I am the only girl of 4 children. My mother LOVES her screwed up sons, but hates me.

I am 24 and have made a good life for myself, I was a really good kid and never got into trouble!

She invites me over and then tries to fight with me about stupid stuff (like my brother’s alcoholism, things that happened when I was a kid that she says never happened, my husband and I planning our first child!)

I end up telling her I need to go home because her arguments escalate and she won’t let it go until she wins!

She was verbally abusive to me as a kid, it took a year of counseling to accept that my mother doesn’t treat me with respect or love.

I have come to terms with the fact that she will not change, and although I love her because she is my mother, I do not like her as a person.

I honestly never want to see her face again.

I am a happy person, but when I see her I am miserable and end up leaving her house looking and feeling like the bad guy.

What do I do?
I cut her off completely for 6 months and she is back to her old tricks again!
I wrote her a 5 page letter about how she hurts me and why I don’t like seeing her anymore.

She told me it was B.S. and said she was keeping the letter to show me what a bad daughter I am!!!

i can name quite a few
Bradley Nowell lead singer and guitarist of Sublime (heroin overdose)
Shannon Hoon lead singer of Blind Melon (cocaine overdose)
Lynn Strait lead singer of Snot (car accident)
Cliff Burton bassist Metallica (tour bus accident)
Randy Rhoads guitarist Ozzy (plane crash)
Andrew Wood lead singer Mother Love Bone (heroin overdose)
If Andy Wood have lived Pearl Jam would have never existed.

Basically my mother was an alcoholic. She drank everyday and she drank a lot. She was violent and mean when she drank. She would sometimes drink to the point that she passed out in the middle of the house somewhere. Now people my age are drinking. I still refuse to ever drink because of how my mother was. I have never even tried a little taste of alcohol even when people offer. Is that normal?

My fathers mother passed on 2 years ago and left him the house. The house was in perfect condition. He started tearing the house apart 18 months ago. The upstairs bathroom is gutted. He tore up all the wood flooring in the den. Sanded the walls. Ripped the wall paper off. The house is a disaster. I can’t make myself even go over there. It makes me mad/sad that he did this. Now he won’t finish it! He has left it a wreck! He has tore up the lawn now to change out the sewer, to public he has to connect it to the town. there is a trench the length of the house to the street. He has left that. He is cutting down most of the trees in the yard to make light for his new $150/each (10) new trees.
He is also doing a lot of spending on stupid things. like buying paintings going to auctions. Buying cars. Then trying to sell them for more.
When i confront him on the house or his spending habits. He make jokes “my mom died and i need time” But he says it laughing. Almost mocking. It is mean! I’ve expressed to him that if Grandma was still alive that she would be telling him to finish what he has started. He doesn’t seem to care.
I just wish that he would buckle down and finish the house and stop spending. he is addicted to spending. I’ve gotten to the point where i can’t go over there anymore and i’ve semi cut contact with him. He still leaves me messages stating that he got this great deal on a painting and that he sold it and made a $30 profit. I don’t care to know nor do i want to know how he is spending his monies from his mother. He should be saving with the way that the economy is going. But i think that he is addicted and I dont know if there is anyhing i can do to help him stop! He doesnt listen to me. in fact he never has….
Any idea’s on how to cope with this? Or how to make myself stop getting so upset over this. it is killing me and tearing me apart.
Thanks
This house has been in our family for 3 generations. It was a beautiful home in CT.

My dad always hard a tough time holding on to money. And my mother has told me that when they were married that he did the same thing to there first home. he gutted it . when it was in perfect condition. that was one of the many reasons why she left him.
My father hasnt worked since 89 and collects BS disablity. so maybe he lacks responsiblity. my fear is that this house that i use to love will be sold cause of his errors in spending. and not having enough money to keep the house up
