memzak! Interesting point about the hyperactive/positive outlook versus the inattentive/depressive outlook.
I know someone who was diagnosed with ADD earlier in their life than I was. From what she’s told me, she acted out in school and had a lot of anger issues. She took medication to get through college, then stopped for whatever reason. I don’t know if she developed good coping skills, or has the right job, or the right home situation, or all of the above, but she definitely has an active, positive, take-action outlook on things. She succeeds.
Me, on the other hand, I am the exact opposite. Hopeless and frustrated with my inability to concentrate on difficult or mundane tasks to completeion, also often feeling paralyzed to even start these tasks, I turn my life over to the television, or else, seeking stimulation of some kind, I go off shopping.
She is a Tigger, I am an Eeyore.
Anyway, I find your hypothesis resonates, memzak.
Also, another solution, I always select/highlight, right click, and “copy” what I’ve written just before I hit “send” just in case something goes wrong – if it posts, great, if it doesn’t, I can then “paste” it into a word document so that I haven’t lost it, and can try again. You can try that in case you don’t like the idea of composing in a separate program.
