Thank you for the replies………Yes, I do feel that I have had it since childhood and have just “dealt” with it all these years! I’m 41…….I actually don’t think I have “dealt” with it…….I feel I have “suffered” through it for so many years! I just want to be normal….happy?? I don’t know that I’ve ever been happy???………..I do remember some of my report cards as a child saying…….Unable to focus in class, Cannot concentrate in class, talks to much in class……..and so on. I was always an introvert, shy. Socially awkward……You know, alot of the signs you see in children with ADD, but I know for a fact that my mother had probably never even heard of it!!

I’ve always thought that my feelings, actions, thoughts were similar to the rest of the world. Sure everyone forgets things, everyone misplaces things, everyone has racing thoughts, etc……….But after researching ADD, I realize it’s the degree of severity that matters. And yes, I would consider myself severe! It affects my daily life, my relationships, my job, every minute of every day!!
