ADHD or just ADD
Been awhile since I have logged on, I have been struggling with my procrastination...depression...anxiety... . My son has been diagnosed with ADHD, and in doing all the research, I have come to the conclusion that I, also, have ADHD. I have been trying to figure out WHY I have procrastination, WHY I am depressed, WHY I have anxiety, something had to have started all these things, something pretty fundamental....turns out that ADHD is a neurological disorder, it is genetic, passed down through generations and NOT MY FAULT.
I thought I would share my AHA moment with all of you, maybe this applies to you as well....

I have a two sons, one of whom has ADD, the other is likely ADHD: (he is a 19 year old who will still make sound effects while fencing with projectile objects). My dad had to have ADD and as I am the link in the middle, I suspect that I, too, have it. What can be so very confusing about this is that sometimes each of us will have the ability to hyperfocus, but often, very often, I will find myself following webs of thoughts as my ideas flit by too quickly. Driven to Distraction was very good reading and I am trying to encourage my sons to read it: knowledge is definitely power for this.
Congratulations on finding your AHA! I felt the same way.

Thank you, e, for responding. yes, knowledge is power, it is up to each of us individually to wield that power. Here's to us!
