Welcom to totally add.
Readingyour post, I think I have come to understand something that has been puzzling me. I have been trying to figure out how it is that other people with ADHD seem to be so much more successful than me in most cases. And I think the answer may lie in what you say about about hiding your impulses and everything. I have never learned to do that except in very short bursts that never last.
i am also not an overachiever. I’m more of a no-achiever. But i find it exhausting just getting through the ordinary everyday stuff. I am overwhelmed and can’t cope even though I have a very minimal amount of responsibility and very little to do in a day. So I am thinking either I have severe ADHD, more severe than others, or something else is very wrong.
i am somewhat encouraged to read the part about getting on track to a full and happy life I’m 42 and I had pretty much given up on that, figuring it was too late. I gjess I need to more of a half full approach and llook at what’s ahead not what’s behind.
