Can those who live with ADD people join in? Insight would be helpful.

I don't see why not, after all ADD is ADHD with out the hyperactivity.

 

[Zacharias]

ADHD is the shortened term used most often to describe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADD refers to Attention Deficit Disorder, a subtype of ADHD.

Another ADDult here who just found this area! Thanks a BUNCH....

Without mentioning any names, I had, in the past year, become a very involved member of another very active ADD forum on the net. I was even a "super moderator" on the boards and a member of a couple of the committees there. VERY recently, heated discussions came up on various issues such as religion. Even though there was already a forum guideline in place that specifically forbid the debate of these topics, it was still happening...causing a bit of concern to several members. This compelled the admins of the board to create a new policy FORBIDDING the discussion of anything to do with religion (and a couple of other topics as well) and also forbidding the use of any reference to such in our profile signatures or forum pictures/avatars.

As a Christian, I felt very much like those who have been placed under attack for prayer in school, etc....I felt very wronged to have my beliefs slapped in my face when all I had done was try to be the best representation of Christ in those forums without EVER "preaching" or throwing my beliefs onto anyone. I felt like I couldn't be ME...like I had to hide my identity as a Christian in order to stay a member there.

So....without further adeu, I resigned my position there, and decided to look for support forums where I could feel free to be the Christian I am.

Which brought me to CF....and NOW I can enjoy the ADD area!!! Yayyyyyyy

Does anyone else here with ADD just get to the point of wanting to end it all. Do you ever feel that it is the only way to end the pain of rejection of other people??

If so how do you deal with it????

Please help me

Sorry I can't help, I'm home-schooled and go to a small church.

Well, I've had major depression that sprouted from my ADD...and other things....

But I've never felt like ending it all....sure felt like running away though...and hope to never feel like that again.

Hope you are doing ok!
