Hey!
I don't know about you guys but when I hit rock bottom, I want to know that there is hope, because honestly there always is, even if you can't always see it at the time.

I think the best way to gain this confidence and hope for the future is to look at other's and our own sucsesses.

So let this thred be a happy one. One where we can give eachother, hope and motivativation and to reward ourselves for our triumphs.

Got motivation or sucsess stories, feel free to reply.

this is a bump i think this thread is a wonderfull idea. this weekend i will try to get on and write something.

ritalin helps my adhd in a great way, as life gets better confidence comes with is

Hi every one!!
I just want to say that, being diagnosed for ADD has been one of the best things that ever happened to me. The ADDERALL I have been placed on has helped me soooooooooooooooooooooooo much. I just got my report card back from school and my GPA is currently a 3.8333 average, this is a huge acheivement for me, and I also am not spending as much time on homework as I use to. To those who beleive taking meds will get rid of your creativity, this is a MYTH!!!!! My creativity is still here, I am just able to focus it into more productive uses.

THAT WAS MY SUCCESS STORY!!!

thats true, ritalin improved my creativity

as I stated i would try to post something this weekend. My biggest success is that I have really started to look at my interactions with others and how I do things. I have begun to use coping skills and really let my family know that there are times that I may be more grumpy than others but it is not them but it is me. I know now that these are the times that I need to just be bymyself and not take it out on others. this really more than anything else helped my relationship with my wife and kids.

I dropped out of my chemistry class 1 year ago... Tutors, profs, friends, nothing... I couldn't grasp the concepts if my life depended on it. This summer I was diagnosed with ADHD and it's been an absolutely roller coaster of emotions, but I am for once in my life realizing my potential as a person... So, yesterday I met with my chemistry prof as I'm having to take it again, to discuss my grade and how I'm doing. Guess what? Nothing to worry about... I have the top grade in my class. :D Never in my life did I think I'd be "that person." Feels AWESOME :cool:

Way to go!!!!!

Today!!
I decided to take a risk, I decided to replace every negative thought that I had with a positive one. And it worked better than I could have imagined. I watched myself glide to classes with confidence, socializing with ease, and actually feeling relaxed. By just changing my thinking I have made one so- so day really really great, I never knew that one positve thought could change your life, but it can, I strongly reccomend it to you all.

What a great thread, Stargirl... Congrats Dissonence!! Hey lunaslobo, that's gotta feel good when the family can support you! I've just recently decided to take Stargirl's attitude to work. Just can't let everyday crap bother ya!
