I agree.  We are very passionate people, just easily distracted.

People with ADHD tend to be the "idea people" who get things started.  Pairing with a partner/coworker who can carry that through to completion makes for great success. 

I can definatley relate to being really excited about an idea one day and dropping it the next.  I feel like I am so flighty.   I am drunk.  This my friends does not mix well with my adhd, as well as the countless unlisted additional problems that I have. But I have not come here tonight to write about that list.  I was inspired tonight by something my wife said after i made a comment at the diner down the road.  I told her that I had read one of the messages on this board earlier tonight.  The person wrote that they thought they weren't able to be passionate about anything with add adhd whatever.  She said that  I am passionate about something, more specifically many things.  All those phases we go through all the crap we think up and get all hyped up about then drop it a day later or a week later like a hot rock, those are our passions.  We just become passionate about tons of things..... How cool is that?  I never looked at it like that.  So start up that company, band, book, career, or whatever and enjoy it until it fades away.    Hooray! I love celebrating my ADHD as well as sorting out its bad points. there's lots to love about an adder, my boyfriend says hes passionate about me because I'm passionate about everything and thats how I like it! x

I agree as well.

I have always considered myself passionate because of my adhd.  That other person just happens to not feel passionate but that doesn't describe you or most of us.

  I just think it's great because I always think about when the end of my life comes I'm going to look back and say "man I accomplished nothing!"  But thats not true, our accomplishments are just a bit different.  We just need to judge ourselves on a different level.  I'm not quite sure any of that made any sense, I'm a bit high right now..........
