Hey,Squids,I,m hearin what you,re sayin!Seems like we both went down the same road.The thing about ADD/ADHD that some don,t realize,is that if you have it,you,ve had it since you was little,it just went un-diagnosed,like mine and soooo many others!That,s where the term"Adult ADD"comes from,it,s those of us that did,nt get diagnosed till we were grown!It does make you wonder where you might have gotten if they,d just caught it when you were in school,tryin so hard to learn,feelin so screwy cause you could,nt seem to "catch on" to stuff like the others.Don,t let it get you down,stay focused on the positive aspect of reality.You ARE being treated now,and you can make up what you missed,if you want it bad enough!A few months after I started my meds and got"re-adjusted" to life,I wasted no time!I made up my mind that I done wasted all the time I needed to(or not to), already!After goin from job to job all them years,I decided what I was gonna be and went for it!3 years of study,practice,classes,etc.and,now I,m a Fitness Professional,Personal Trainer,and Corporate Fitness Consultant.I get paid to do what I love!That,s what we all call"the American Dream",and you,ll get your shot now,Squids!I know you won,t waste it.Take Care,Festus.
