I have attention deficit disorder. ADD is a serious condition which makes my day to day routines necessary for me to have control over my household. I want to see if other people out there have suggestions for the disorganization, insecurity, and the like.
I want to know if anyone see's a therapist and if there are other things that can be done besides just the medicine....Thanks

Well unfortunately I don't have any suggestions to help you out.. I have it really really bad. It affects me in SO MANY ways... I barely function and really get tired of life always being so hard for me. I'm not the type to feel sorry for myself or anything like that. I'm a fighter. However I do feel very alone because NOBODY understands how it is for me. I don't need people to feel sorry for me I just want people to understand why I can't do things like others...I take medication for it but it does'nt help much....Good luck to you

Yes...I have the luxury of having a wonderful wife that constantly reminds me of things that need to be done. Some call it nagging, but she knows I need the help.
Yes I see a therapist, though it has had limited success. Mostly due to the lack of my input.
Exercise helps also.
Sorry I don't have alot of advice, just the reassurance that you are not alone. There are many adults that have ADD.

I was seeing a therapist before I decided to bring this up to him. He gave me some medication. I see improvement. I take Wellbutrin. It is actually an anti-depressant but it work in the way ADD meds do.

I don't believe that this is truly a "disorder". Like the 1st answer, this "diagnosis" is passed-out like candy. I believe this is just another personality trait that makes us all different. There is nothing wrong with having this type of personality & it is quite natural for many, many people to need routine and control to get through daily life in a fast-paced, technologically overwhelmed world. Insecurity is also incredibly common, as well as disorganization. It never hurts to talk to a specialist about ways to get more organized etc. Just remember to take it slow & triumph with your little "successes". You are not alone.

There is no such thing to be honest with you all that is the food you eat and all that will change.Change the body will change your mind and how alot of this matrix (world) you will start to understand.
