New to here
Hi,
I've fairly recently been diagnosed with ADHD after struggling at work and was put on an "improvement plan" or was trying to be fired. I quit that job and moved closer to "home" to regroup. I've taken a huge salary cut so I am also learning to live at the poverty level. I'm going through a lot of healing and reflecting. So many of my struggles are now begining to come into focus and I getting an understanding of why I struggled. But I don't know where to go from here. I'm at the end of a master's program that has cost me a huge amount of time and effort and have not been able to complete the last few classes because they are on line and for what ever reason, these seem insurmountable to me and I have failed 2 of them. I'm usually and A or B student. I am still really frustrated, and I'm hurting, and I'm angry. And my Mom is so much in denial that I could even have a problem at all. She told me, "do you feel better now that you have a label?" "When did you get this? You always did good in school. " I don't even know what to say to that.

Welcome to the forums orangesky.
Your dx is an important first step. You can take it from here and begin you voyage of self improvement. I can surely be extremely difficult to explain ADHD to the non-believers. Almost like they just do not speak our language.
