g.laiya – I guess that feeling of ‘if only’ will probably always lurk – it does for me sometimes if I don’t keep it in check. But on saying that I have decided to be content with where I am and part of that is appreciating the moment and in particular, not comparing myself with my peers at work.

But I reckon if I spend too much energy/time dwelling on the lost past, I will waste what time I have now. So although I feel I have missed opportunities throughout my life because of undiagnosed ADHD, I will only have myself to blame if in 10 years time I look back over my 50s (current decade) and feel the same (now that I have a diagnosis, albeit a late one like you)..

We need to move onwards positively.
