Any adults with ADD or ADHD here? [View All]

I was diagnosed in 1972 with "hyperactivity" (back in the pre "ADHD days") and although I have periodically taken medication, I can't seem to find anything that gives satisfactory results. My doctor has long recommended I undergo behaviour modification therapy, but it is not currently anything I can afford. This affliction is slowly driving me crazy; it has prevented me from accomplishing any of the goals I set for myself, it makes it very difficult for me to have a good long term relationship (6 months and I start getting bored and looking around), and it makes holding down a job nearly impossible. My family has only recently began to understand that this is not *just the way she is* and have stopped telling me to "Just make yourself stick things out." That's like telling someone with chronic depression to "Cheer up!".

Does anyone here have this condition, and if so, what have you found helpful? I'm about at the end of my rope here. This isn't how I planned for my life to go. :(
