Selma – On the money you may be. I have been thinking about the times I felt healthy and what has changed from those times – trying to identify my anxiety triggers. Let's see what the next step is.
Nat – Self help books are good for one thing only – filling space on a shelf. Am now doing the waiting game for another specialist appointment.
Penelope – you are a love. Have appointment with GP first week of August the day after PCOS treatment plan appointment. Is a while to wait but this is what I get for having the best GP in the area!
Dan – The rational part of my brain knows you are right and is nodding sagely at your advice. There is quite a large part which is having a grumble whinge at the NHS. I honestly don't know what I was expecting. I think I've been watching too much hospital drama TV.
My next specialist appointment is with the gynae dept in August for PCOS. I have to wait for a referral letter to go to my GP from A&E and then she can make an appointment with the specialists at the hospital. As soon as that it through I shall be skipping with excitement at the next step forward. Thanks for the advice re the anxiety management therapy though – I will mention that at my next appointment.
blondefabulous – oh I have had worse… not as bad as the NY Psych thing though – jeez! Had a quick googling of Celiac Disease and can I just say – ooo, you poor thing!
Avitable – Knew I could rely on you for the quick fix answer – is starting to eat into my work day though!
Carly – I have tried meditation in the past and it worked wonders. Am going to make sure I find the time and space to take it up again. Am looking into Yoga classes in the area; hypnotherapy, however, scares the living bejeezus out of me! But thanks for the advice and for the longest post title I have seen in quite some time – Cordelia in Angel, right?
(edit: I asked a licensed psychologist who specializes in ADHD counseling to step in and offer some opinions. -ian)
I wanted to contribute to the dialogue by offering some information from the literature in the field related to the treatment of ADHD.
First, Barkley’s work has made a significant contribution to our understanding of ADHD and how to identify it. But he is just one of many leading researchers and experts in the field, especially with regard to the work that has been done in recent years to better understand adult ADHD. (Side note: While the core symptoms of ADHD are similar for children and adults, the characteristics associated with adults who have ADHD are different than those of children, as are the difficulties associated with adult ADHD as opposed to ADHD in children).
In terms of treatment for ADHD, the best approach is to follow an individualized, comprehensive plan specifically designed for you, based upon your particular situation and needs. This is one point where a counselor or psychologist trained in, or having experience in working with ADHD can be helpful. This may be in addition to working with a psychiatrist or physician for medication treatment, but for others it may replace the use of medication altogether.
Note that the issue of medication becomes more complicated in adulthood as it has been shown in controlled studies of stimulant medications and open studies of antidepressants that 20-50 percent of adults are considered nonresponders due to insufficient symptom reduction or inability to tolerate these medications (Wender, 1998; Wilens et al., 2002a). Moreover, adults who are considered responders typically show a reduction in only 50 percent or fewer of the core symptoms of ADHD, and these response rates are worse than the rates found in children (Wilens et al., 1998a, 2002a). So, although medications are highly useful in the treatment of adult ADHD, they are only partially effective and many residual symptoms often persist for adults with ADHD after adequate medication treatment.
Also, while medication may ameliorate many of the core symptoms of ADHD (attentional problems, high activity, impulsivity), it does not provide you with concrete strategies and skills for coping with associated difficulties. Quality-of-life impairments such as underachievement, unemployment or underemployment, economic problems, and relationship difficulties associated with ADHD in adulthood (see Biederman et al., 1993; Murphy & Barkley, 1996a; Ratey et al., 1992) require active problem-solving, which can be achieved with skills training over and above medication management.
The literature supports counseling, psychotherapy, and coaching, in one form or another, as key ingredients of a comprehensive plan to address the difficulties associated with ADHD (see the references listed below as well as Wilens etal., 1999 and McDermott, 2000). These forms of support can help you in developing skills for organizing and planning, coping with distractibility, managing anxiety and depression, avoiding procrastination, and imporving interpersonal interactions. Moreover, these forms of support can help you identify talents and strengths and promote them. People struggling with ADHD usually know their shortcomings all too well, while their talents and strengths have been camouflaged by what’s been going wrong. Working with a counselor, therapist or coach can help you to discover and promote the more advantageous characteristics of ADHD.
Other references that I find helpful with regard to understanding, living with, and treating ADHD are Hallowell and Ratey’s (2005) Delivered from Distraction (and their earlier book Driven to Distraction) and Brown’s (2005) ADD: The unfocused mind in children and adults.

It's been several posts since I identified the chest pains as anxiety attacks. They were constant during the first 3 weeks in March. No, I didn't go to the doctor without health insurance. I was so depressed and emotionally wasted I didn't care. When I realized I wasn't dying anytime soon, and talked to others who had been there, I just rode the wave. They're very mild and infrequent now that I've recovered somewhat. Thanks for caring.
Ya I agree this is the way to approach anxiety pain and discomfort. I've had symptoms for 12 years and thought I was really ill. Malnutrition and weightloss made it worse I had no appetite and poor sleep due to racing heartbeat. Was horrible. Tried citalopram, it made me feel like I was literally on fire when I started it and went off it!!!! Very scary. Ever notice if you get the flu or other illness, your anxiety symptoms almost disappear? I recommend Buspar with exercise, no caffeine
