Hello Everyone!
I am 25 years and just found out last week that I have ADD. I can't believe that this has been missed my whole life. For the past couple of years my doctor has been treating me for depression and anxiety, but nothing has clicked. ADD never even occured to me. I always associated it with as something that hyperactive kids had. When I realized that practially every symptom for add/adhd matched issues that I have, it floored me!
I've never been able to stick with any particular interest. In college I would want to major in bio one week, history the next, literature, finally I just went for liberal arts because I couldn't remain satisfied with any one major. I was so frusterated with myself. How could I be so passionate about a subject one day, and then bored to tears by it the next?
I had always just assumed that my procrastination, my inability to stay focused, my memory issues, all of these things, were personal flaws, that I was just stupid or screwed up. It's kind of nice to know that there is an "explanation" for all this, but on the other hand, it makes me feel like "Okay, it's confirmed, you really do have something "wrong" with you"
I have a lot more to say, but I'll save it for other posts. I already went overboard with information Thanks for listening!
Welcome!
