Hi @mrdman, welcome. 🙂

Oh yeah, I deal with it. Almost word for word exactly the same. But I never knew why. I never put it together before that the loss of energy, depression, temper tantrums,  strong urge to dump a pot of coffee on the customer’s head…. are all because of the ADD.

Well, that last one was also because the guy was an idiot.

So…. First of all, you need to relax. Take a deep breath… in with the good…..and exhale….out with the bad. Close your eyes, go to your  happy place. Whatever. You have to let go of the stress, the anxiety, and all of those past failures, the regret, the guilt.  All that stuff is holding you back.

I know what it’s like to fear making bad choices. I have been paralyzed by that fear most of my life. I would stay in a horrible job where the pay sucked and I was miserable just because I was afraid to try something new. What if I don’t like it? What if I can’t do it? What if they don’t like me? What if I get fired?

But you can what if yourself all the way to Crazy Town. It won’t do you any good. You can’t predict the future. You just have to make a choice and do your best. I would say be careful not to make impulsive choices, but sometimes those are the best ones. You know, as long as your impulse isn’t to put on a squirrel suit and go jump off  a building. 😉

Its late and I shouldn’t be trying to do this right now. I need to wait until my brain is working again so I can give you a more intelligent answer. Just hang in there. And use the forums. Post your questions, share your experiences, or just vent like you did here. It helps. And there is lots of good stuff to read here too. You will find there are a lot of people just like you. And maybe some of their experiences will help you on your journey.

I’m going on a journey to the bedroom now before I start to get really silly. 😛
