Hi no_dopamine,

It sounds like you’re way ahead of me on this. I wonder if I have misinterpreted what you mean by visualisation? I just mean being able to have a picture in my head. But actually there are different levels of this. Before I was diagnosed I was desperate to try to motivate myself so I bought a book on positive visualisation. The idea was that I should be able to visualise the positive outcome of me actually doing something such as finishing a project at work on time and visualising how good that would feel. Then I would be motivated to get it done. At the time I didn’t know I have ADD (or am ADD!). I find that kind of visualisation impossible. There’s no way I can visualise in that sense.

It’s an interesting subject. Hope your teacher helps you get there.
