Re: Ptsd and Adhd

I have PTSD and was recently diagnosed with ADD. The combination of symptoms when I am stressed is difficult. I think that having a sense of humor is paramount to surviving this. It really helps to read other people’s stories so you don’t feel so alone. I had to laugh when I read about having problems driving. I rear-ended two cars in three weeks last summer, both of them at speeds of less than 5 mph. I often don’t know I’m having problems until I’m on the road. My reaction is almost always surprise and “oh, yeah…I forgot about that.” I lose focus, time, space and boundaries. I don’t know how I managed to get to 55 and not know this… It is actually a relief to know that I’m not just crazy.
