Financial Angers | ADHD Information

Hi there everyone.  I know I posted about money stuff on another thread but, I just need to share.

I went to see my therapist today.  I explained to her all the money issues I had over the weekend and how stupid I feel and how guilty i feel that other people have to keep "bailing me out"  and how it always looks good on paper only and how all I can do is cry about it.  I mean I'm 46 years old, I should be able to have a grip on my finances, right?  well, no.  I HAVE ADD!!!  When will i fully admit that?!  Okay, so at least I did a very good, smart thing by asking my daughter to help me with it all.  Not that I give up (although it sure feels that way and I would very much like to), I just realize my limitations.  Almost every single one of the people I know who AREN'T ADD (which is pretty much everyone I know) they just don't understand how money issues are an issue.  They think it's lack of will power or something.  The whole thing makes me very angry.  From having ADD and the crap it puts me through, to the not being able to get stuff done, to the lack of understanding, to the secrecy I have to maintain, to the many, many things ADD has cost me.

So, today, I'm going to try and bombard myself with checking my bank account online as many times as possible throughout the day.  It's one way I might be able to combat the fears of checking.  I'm hopeful this will work but I've only checked it twice this afternoon.

If anyone else has suggestions or experiences, I'd love to hear them.  I believe that the best way to combat this stupid thing (ADD) is power in numbers (all of you).  Thanks!
