I Am Crazy But Apparently Not Crazy Enough For The Looney Bin

My mom has been telling me that I have ADHD and need to see a professional since I was in grade school. It's a legitiment problem, it affects me everywhere. I have all the hallmark symptoms (which is rare in a girl) and then the lesser-known ones like poor self-regulation. It's not severe, but not mild either. My grades are slipping as a result, and I really do struggle to get certain things done and not get yelled at by teachers and coaches constantly. I never wanted to get a proper diagnosis because I figured that a lot of job prospects could go out the window because I'm sick in the head, and I couldn't go into space, which has been my dream since I was little.

I finally caved in last week and agreed to see a psych. My mother immediately relented, saying "maybe I was a little too harsh on you." and as the week progressed as kept trying to instill in me that I was just highly disorganized. She clearly doesn't want me to see a psych, and that bothers me. Calling me crazy until I want to get help for the crazy, and then going back on it.

I feel like shit right now. I'm angry at my mom, I'm frustrated at how my life is right now, and upset because I don't know what to do. I want help but I don't want my future and my dreams affected.

I just want to be normal

Well I am sorry but you should go to the psych just so you know for yourself and if there is nothing wrong with you can hold your head high and say to your mom " Who's crazy now"? And if there is something wrong with you can turn and say to your mom "why did you want so long to see if I was okay or not" And wait for the answer. I am sorry for being harsh no one but no one especially a parent should call their kids hurtful names and play around with their child head that is wrong on so many level's. What you could be happening to you is that you have been call psycho for so long that your mind might be reacting to it what in all actuality there's nothing wrong with you . And yes it can happen if a person hears from day in and day out over years it can take a toll on a person. Good luck and do not back down go and shut your mother up once and for all well shut everyone up.

Please people do not play with her head it's no joking matter. If there is something wrong I am sure it can be fixed. And always remember this is not your fault. It's better to know. You may want to ask your mom why for so many years she's been trying to get you to go and get check out you have refused but now that you have agreed she is saying you should not go.

I well share something with you well Sw seeing I am writing it here many many years ago I had problem and people put me in a psycho hospital and I did not belong and after awhile I felt my mind going crazy because that's all I see all day is ill people it got so bad I tried to escape and if it was not for another doctor that had nothing to do with the unit I was in I could still be there. That doctor check me out and said why on earth are you in here this is no place for you and I was let go a few days later. So I do know what I am talking about.

I have mild hyperactivity, but I do believe ADD is a subset of ADHD, IIRC
