I’m 35, with diagnosed ADHD and brain scarring. My memory feels so fried and it’s almost Impossible to finish a task. Where I live it’s almost Impossible to get actual medication for something. Doc always gives herbal treatments and it helps nothing.

Is there a way to help myself without meds?

    What is brain scarring? I’m 40 and was diagnosed with ADHD at 37 or 38. Where I used to be passionate about things, that spot has been filled with passive suicidality. No matter what, I can’t seem to will myself to do anything anymore. Habits I know will help me seem to fizzle before I can feel better doing them.

    Having ADHD sucks for getting tasks done, but when the whole process of bettering yourself or your surroundings feels pointless, the only result is to wait to die, I guess. I hate this world.

      Brain scarring is what I call it, it’s from healed lacerations on my brain, had a few really rough TBI’s in my mid 20’s.

      I fully understand that, I have an immense feeling of dread at any moment I’m not around my wife or kids. I think about only death and past mistakes. When I dream it’s of my dead ex wife, just really disturbing things. I think you and I both over due for a trip to a Psychologist.
