Hi Jochem, First of all, thank you very much for creating this site! I came across your website via Facebook, where I could read several stories of people who also have a form of ADD or ADHD. Your site immediately appealed to me because the creator himself knows what it is, which makes me more likely to believe you than the "pill industry" I was not diagnosed with ADD until I was 25. At first I went along with this, or in other words I was open to any kind of help. I then immediately started taking Ritalin, which was unbearable for me after a few weeks. I lost a lot of weight and could talk even faster than I normally do. I had always had several jobs, but with Ritalin I worked late into the evening and got up early to work again the next day. Not normal if you ask me, but I went like clockwork. The first few months I slept an awful lot, quite normal according to the doctor. Besides the weight loss, I also suffered a lot of rebounds and felt like a junkie for months after quitting. Cold chills ran through my body and my jaws tightened constantly. Then Concerta was prescribed, which I also wanted to get off after three months, although I have to say that that stuff "worked" better than Ritalin. For the first time in my life, I thought/did/felt like a "normal" person feels. And I can only say one thing........What a SAAI it was! Having multiple thoughts mixed up and being nicely off-kilter is WHO I AM. I was put together neatly by my parents and everything is on... Read more
Hi Jochem,
First of all, thank you very much for creating this site!

I was not diagnosed with ADD until I was 25. At first, I went along with this, i.e. I was open to any kind of help. I then immediately started taking Ritalin, which was unbearable for me after a few weeks. I lost a lot of weight and could talk even faster than I normally do. I had always had several jobs, but with Ritalin I worked late into the evening and got up early to work again the next day. Not normal if you ask me, but I went like clockwork. The first few months I slept an awful lot, quite normal according to the doctor. Besides the weight loss, I also suffered a lot of rebounds and felt like a junkie for months after quitting. Cold chills ran through my body and my jaws tightened constantly. Then Concerta was prescribed, which I also wanted to get off after three months, although I have to say that that stuff "worked" better than Ritalin. For the first time in my life, I thought/did/felt like a "normal" person feels. And I can only say one thing........What a SAAI it was! Having multiple thoughts mixed up and being nicely off-kilter is WHO I AM. I was put together neatly by my parents and everything is in place. There is nothing wrong with me, I might have a bit more trouble than another with simple things. Ok I may not be the easiest person to deal with, but a day with me is never boring. In my work, I sometimes suffer from it, but also have fun with it. I can think very creatively and freely precisely because of these qualities. My rich imagination and enthusiasm has brought me out of deep valleys many times. I try to sleep/eat/exercise as much as possible and, above all, find a purpose in life for which I am here. There's a reason I was born the way I am and I hope that other ADHDérs (or other labels we don't really like at all, because we're not the diagnosis, we just got it stuck on us) will come to see that we're pretty cool people.

Hi Jochem, My daughter of almost 11 is high-sensitive, has dyslexia and I think ADD as well. We too have searched and are still searching what is the best way of dealing with her to guide her. Thanks for all the info you have gathered. Also, have you ever heard of Bio-feedback? My daughter does a half-hour programme on ADD twice a week and a dyslexia programme three times a week at school. As a result, learning to concentrate is getting better and better. She was once tested and would not go beyond grade 6 and is now just on level in grade 7. I just wanted to add this. regards from a highly-sensitive mother Saskia

Dear Jochem, For years I have been on antidepressants but am now 69 but recognise (almost) everything. My life has been a struggle and often lonely in my feelings. Others judged me as cheerful while inside I felt so desperate and misunderstood. There are several family members with similar problems who have e.g. used Concerta with diagnosed ADD. My question is whether the new natural medicines would be allowed to be used with my currently used antidepressants. How happy I would be to be allowed some time to live a less chaotic life. To my mind, it makes little sense to still have ADD (or HSP) diagnosed at an older age. I was stunned at how much I recognised about myself! Would you please reply. Many thanks!!!!!!!

Dear Jochem, I have been searching for years to find out what is wrong with me. I have been convinced for years that something is wrong with me but don't know what, and that torments me terribly. In the meantime, I am also completely under it and don't know what to do anymore. My brother has been institutionalised for a year and I have just heard from him that he has been diagnosed with ADD, among other things. I started looking up a lot about that and it all comes out pretty familiar. both for my brother and myself, and maybe even for my father. But sometimes there are little things I don't recognise then too, so am not quite sure if this is it or not. I hope to get an answer soon, but it's all running stiff here and I fear it will take a while. I'm certainly glad I came across your site, it did give me back my courage. Thanks

Hello Jochem, I have always noticed that I do not fit into the 'picture' of society. Now I was recently diagnosed with ADD. This felt like a confirmation, and I was very relieved. In my soul, I feel that I am good enough, but I still became more and more insecure about having ADD. One reason for this is that I am socially insecure and feel that I cannot meet the demands that my education expects of me. My supervisors have questioned whether I will pass the course (All my grades are above 7), as I have indicated that I have difficulty with planning. Now I am doing further research on AD(H)D for a school paper and I noticed that mostly the negative sides were discussed....until I came across your site. My heart filled with the information I read here. Deep down I knew it, but seeing it here so black and white confirmed it. We are just right enough!!! Thank you! I think it is a great initiative and I am sure you are helping super many people!!! p.s I also ordered the eBOOK right away!!! Love Vera

I am very happy to have found out what ails me. I think I already feel a little less lonely now. And I hope that with the help of fellow sufferers I can now improve my quality of life. Because otherwise it's a long road of frustration and misunderstanding.

Dear Jochem, I am very grateful for your website & newsletters. I started using LTO3 3 months ago & am very satisfied. The psychiatrist wanted to prescribe real drugs like lithium after their diagnosis of 'Bipolar'. I wanted to try this first. And feel much better, more balanced, calmer in head, more focus, still creative. The peaks & troughs are less intense than before. At GGZ they don't want to prescribe it yet, I happened to be insured with PNO, but meanwhile found a BIG doctor who does want to prescribe it & keep telling GGZ how great it is. So 1000x thanks. If I can help you with anything once.... Let me know. Greetings Martine

Nice this site. I hope it is of some use to me because my environment is of no use to me. I have a severe version of adhd and am always on my toes and in other people's eyes I do everything wrong, no matter how hard I try. It hurts, so much. But even if I say I have ADHD, this is soon a way out to an excuse.

Hey Jochem, Through a newsletter from counselling oid I ended up on your site by chance. Because I am interested in everything, I recently subscribed to your newsletter. I think you are doing good and important work here and have already given various people your e-mail address and even put a piece of text on Facebook (tips on the to do list) because I think a lot of people could benefit from it. I myself am a peer counselor for people with anxiety and compulsion so I know how important (h)acknowledgement, tips, advice and making it public and discussable are. Should people with anxiety or compulsion report to you (because there are quite a few similarities with ADD/HSP), you may also refer them to the ADF foundation. Kind regards, Welmoed

Dear Jochem, Thanks for all the info, I was so relieved to read some things on your site. I, mother of an 8-year-old son with ADD, was at a loss. But your site gave me so much courage again. It tears you up as a mother to see your son struggle with all the obstacles and frustrations he encounters every day. It is sometimes hard to stay positive, also because he sometimes reacts very aggressively. So today we started TO3, we hope it will give him peace of mind. He is such a special and creative, different-minded little man. I hope things are going a bit better now, especially at school. Where you have to go along in the pattern, (whether you want to or not). I am a primary school teacher myself and already try to adapt the way I teach as much as possible to the children of today. But unfortunately, this is still far from being the case everywhere. Children like my son are quickly perceived as awkward and difficult, while they simply need a different approach. Your site/facebook page, gives me courage again, it will work out! Thanks Jochem! Greetings Marjolein

I have ADD and almost certainly Dyslexia and I have an IQ of around 118. I often think differently from others and people often struggle with that. During my diabetes period there were many negative symptoms, my diabetes disappeared without a trace and so did most of the negative symptoms. I therefore no longer take Ritalin and Dextro-Amphetamine, I now drink Cola and some energy drinks. This works faster and better, because the pills were being broken down faster and faster by my Liver and eventually they stopped working for me. Caffeine does work reasonably to well and I also take Multi-vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin B complex, this works really well together. Furthermore, I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol or use drugs, I eat reasonably healthy and I do fitness twice a week. If I can concentrate well, everything goes well, I laugh a lot, fortunately I have a good sense of humour. Sometimes things go wrong, but I always pick myself up again. I know the pros and cons of ADD and I have learned to live with it. It is not a disorder, but a condition and you can use this condition to your advantage, if you learn to deal with it.................XD

Also, I'm secretly happy to read about the palace diet with you... I had already researched it before because it seemed like an interesting lifestyle. So hopefully this will be another push to actually start doing it instead of putting it off for a month :p and hopefully I can also convince my boyfriend with it :p
Anyway, I have signed up for the newsletter... and look forward to the first one!
Regards
Melanie... Collapse

Jochem, you are doing a fantastic job! Amazing how people of this age teach us to transform our vulnerability into strength! A characteristic of these times, where it is no longer about learned, but inner knowing. Not the externally imposed structure, but the inner world of living from the heart. We need to get rid of all labels and focus on what we have to offer each other. And that is a lot! Compartmentalisation is an expression of fear. Fear of true connection with the other, fear of what really lives inside you, fear of being able to be purely yourself and stand in your power. You are a wonderful example of this, Jochem. And with you many others! Thank you for that which you teach us. I coach people with finding their unique power and you may refer people to me who need it. Warm regards, and I will continue to follow you! Ineke Vosman

Dear Jochem and other writers, After being diagnosed with add in my 11-year-old son, I once again took a look at myself. I recognised myself in the diagnosis. From what I have read on your site so far, I can only say "masterpiece! I am now 51 and have learned to deal with myself, but do not dare to reveal myself to just anyone. It is time society becomes more aware of the positive things Mother Nature gives us all. Your site certainly contributes to that! Congratulations, keep up the good work. Regards, Piet
