This makes me happy tbh because it means all the efforts i have done to date were good since she knows she can rely on me. So, as i have mentioned previously, when something important and/or dificult happens in her life she turns to me because she knows i'll be there for her. My SD was behaving very strangely around this other girl so i figured there was something going on. I was suspecting something like that when i saw the two of them together. Told me that she does not want to tell her dad because she is seeing another girl. Turns out she is seeing someone and they got into a fight so she wanted to talk to me. My SD arrived home really upset and crying and asked me to go with her in her room. So things took a different turn yesterday.

I'm hoping to meet with a therapist and figure out what I can do because I still exhibit a lot of symptoms but I'd like to also like to thank the people on this sub for sharing their experiences and how they've gone about coping strategies. I know its not the end of the world, but I just really don't like how my mom ignored my teachers and doctors. I could have learned better strategies at handling it and seek accommodations, maybe that would have led me to more options after HS or an easier time transitioning into college. I spent years thinking I was just dumb and lazy. I'm just so sad because I think about how much easier my life would have been had it not been ignored, had I stayed on or tried out different medication. When I look at my school years and the experiences I see here about ADHD, so much makes sense and I share nearly every experience I see here (I've also taken several learning disabilities in college which pointed it out to me too). Go figure, the school year after she took me off the meds my grades tanked and I struggled to get above a C. All Things I Had Problems With In School (and more). She doesn't have a background in learning disabilities and likely had a very stereotypical idea of how ADHD presents itself, considering it is not always hyperactivity but can also show as/include inattention, disorganization, and time management. What makes me angry the most is that she made that decision, not my doctors. To this day, my mom sounds personally offended at the suggestion that I had ADHD. I mean, aren't girls usually underdiagnosed for ADHD? And yet my doctor still felt I had enough symptoms to put me on medication. Hell, maybe he was wrong about some of those kids, but obviously my doctor thought differently. Thing is, that doesn't mean I didn't have it. I had a conversation with my mom the other day about why I was taken off it and she said she (not my doctors) didn't think I needed it and that my teacher didn't know what he was talking about because he recommended half the class get tested. I don't know the specifics but I had enough symptoms that justified my doctor putting me on medication, which I was on for 6 months. My teacher brought it up to my mom because I could not sit still, citing that I would constantly crawl underneath the desk of my classmates while class was on-going. I was diagnosed as a kid with it when I was in 1st grade. To preface, I'm 25F now and in recent years I've slowly began realizing that I may have ADHD.
