Re: Is there really “nothing positive” about ADD?

[Anonymous]

This is so sad. I am certainly feeling like there is nothing positive about ADD.

I have worked really hard and instead of getting encouragement I would be told that I was lucky that anybody tolerated me.

I’m having a really bad day/week/decade. Two days ago while visiting my hospitalized mother she asked if I had done anything about the clutter in my house.

I like having a quick mind and I like being creative but it has gotten me NOTHING. I am middle-aged and on the verge of poverty. I live in fear of things getting worse. And despite getting diagnosed, getting medication, reading the ADD books, I still can’t read body language, I am still too trusting, and I still need but never get encouragement.
