What is considered "talking too much"?!?!
Question:
What is considered "talking too much"?!?
I have attention defecit disorder and I honestly can't tell when I have over done it! I apparently upset some people, including my hubby, his youngest daughter,and son, as well as my own mother,and step dad,and also a lady that I worked for...they have all told me that I "talk too much!!"
I don't know when I went "too far"..how can I tell? What are the simple cues here? I want to be ME, but, not when people are making fun of me..and thinking Horrible thoughts about me..this makes me feel kind of down, actually.I have gone thru a lot of ridicule because of different issues with my A.D.D. I was once on adderall (for the A.D.D. and I got sooo quiet that a friend of mine didn't expect the way that I was..in fact I was "too quiet" apparently!) lol!
But, I just kind of shut down if I am "blue" over this issue...and or depressed or ill!
anybody have any answers for me?
Anybody with A.D.D. that knows where I have been,and still am?
Heeeelllpp!
thanks!

I don't take medications right now...what do you think..would it be better for me to be on meds or what?
Answers:
First things first. Go back on your medication and I'll tell you why. You have a chemical imbalance that has to be corrected first and foremost. Then, if you aren't doing it already, go back into therapy with a qualified therapist.
I can relate to the problem of "talking to much." I am a head injury survivor and I have a hard time interpreting visual cues, which others try to give me and I don't pick up. What I did was I started talking to people who wanted to hear what I have to say and not listen to people who tell me I talk to much. I find them all over the Internet and on Yahoo! Answers. Sometimes it's helpful in a conversation to elaborate on only one or two points. And aside from pharmaceuticals, I find that black coffee can help control my hyperactivity in much the same was as other ADD drugs. Good luck and don't stop expressing yourself for anyone. But I can relate.
