My Introduction | ADHD Information

Share

This is the first time I have been on a FORUM, an ADHD forum for that matter!  I have always been leary of these types of things, because I feel that people tend to latch onto something for possibly the wrond reasons.  The truth is, that I do have ADHD, I am probably the exact text book definition of it, but sometimes, I try and pretend that I don't have anything wrong/different/or whatever with me.  I am glad to read some of these messages, whether truthful or not, I can relate to far to many of them.  I also find myself reading these ADHD books alot and doing alot of research.  The book "Driven to Distraction" got my mouth wet for solving this riddle called my life.  I would appreciate any thoughts, encouragement or ideas from all of you.  I don't think my ADHD is going away anytime soon! 

0005,

I found this forum only the other day,. and I find comfort in knowing that I am not alone. You wrote "I try and pretend that I don't have anything wrong/different/or whatever with me." While I look like I am together in an attempt to hold on, I am so afraid of being "found out" that I am really this totally scattered, disorganized, procrasinting person. I do that as well , but have to admit that now, I need to accept this and try to compensate as best I can.

I hope you will find this forum as helpful as I have.
