I have that same fear of trying big again now that I'm on meds.. Cause if i fail this time, then it is just me right?

I think I accidentally deleted my post instead of saving the edit :S Reposted: "#AMA Question For Edward: As someone diagnosed later in life as you were. I've just got a diagnosis after fighting for an assessment for 2 years, I'm now 23. Gotta love the lack of UK Adult ADHD services. How did you feel when you got the diagnosis and what feelings did it bring up after? How did you deal with them? I, for example, was definite I had it but was still shocked/surprised by how much anger/sadness I felt at missed opportunities and the chances the adults around me at the time had to get me help but didn't. Question For Jess: I have seen your TED talk and most of the videos on the channel and I am struck by how you managed to push through what was a frankly crappy time of your life and commit yourself to How To ADHD. I finally worked out what I wanted to do after time spent in ICU when I was sick a few years back. I am about to start meds and hopefully can actually start college again in September and work towards my nursing degree. I now find myself terrified that if I fail this time (yet again) it's maybe not the ADHD and it's just me. How did you get/keep pushing through that? Love the channel and proud to support you guys with the little money I can :smiley:"

Are there specific scientific journals or publishers you can recommend to find good studies about ADHD (original publications or meta-analysis)? What research do you think has been neglected so far in regard to ADHD? How would (or did) you deal with medication losing its effect when you don't have the option to increase the dose or take a break from it?

What do you use for your meditation time? Are you familiar with UCLA's MARC? (Mindful Awareness Research Center) {I plan to spend time this summer exploring what they have online}

(I know you have probably answered this but I need more in-depth) how do you get a diagnosis without supportive parents if you are a minor? Also any tips for remembering things without writing

Is there a connection between ADHD and Central Sleep Apnea?

It was in the last season, I think it was episode 117/S08E08, "Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy" ? Jessica plays a cashier at a grocery store. I saw it just the other day myself and flipped out :D
