Thanks Bill,
This was not easy to post, as it’s been something I’ve only shared with very few others – my wife, psychiatrist and therapist. My attempts to discuss this with them has not resolved anything, and leaves many more questions than answers- along with generous helpings of confusion, frustration …and fear.
I agree with you about any relationship between these two being coincidental and/or masking some other issue that mimics ADHD. While separate issues, they seem to play off one another, and my earliest childhood memories involve strong elements of both.
I guess I posted this out of desperation – to find resources, and/or others with these questions. Right now I need direction.
Yes, there are support groups locally, but I’ve not contacted them – I don’t know why other then perhaps cowardliness or fear.
Thanks for the reply…
