Re: Looking Back, the Past seems haunting…Looking to the Future…write the script

Hi Bob, I’m Bob! I’m reading your post, and it’s pretty inspirational, and I’m glad you learned to deal with your ADD the way you did. But I have to be honest with you, I think that what worked for you never would have worked for me. I tried to go to college in the past, and all my attempts were failures, because I had trouble concentrating and I lost interest fast. I joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1973, more out of desperation than anything else, and that lasted a total of three years – again, I lost interest. I’ve had this pattern my whole life – intense concentration, then two or three years later I lose interest. I’m 56, unemployed, hoping to find something soon, and if I do I’m looking to just put in time until retirement, a little over ten years away. Thank goodness I’ve got my music to keep me sane!

At this point in time I’m still learning about my ADD and how it has affected me in my life, for the worse. Once I’ve assimilated all this information I’ll be ready to start looking for coping solutions to help me live with it.
