[quote=Anonymous]It's still confusing to me-- I think I have ADD, but I don't lose things, I'm on time and I remember appointments. BUT I have difficulty organizing information, planning for cooking, multi-tasking with working FT and kids. It also takes me a long time to do projects/write (like probably twice as long or 3x as others), but when I'm done, I've done a great job. But it's painful. Academics were always hard, but I pushed and did well. As a mom, I often feel overwhelmed. But I don't have the typical description of having lots of energy (quite the opposite) and the typical things. I always felt I had ADD (many hours of school daydreaming! but no one would have described me as "spacey" per se)-- but those with ADD don't seem to be the people who become great entrpeneurs, have lots of energy etc. (those are the ones with the "H" in there!). Much of this struggle is internal and most people wouldn't notice, but I often feel overwhelmed, disorganized, slow, low energy etc. despite working FT, driving kids to sports, etc. I've never tried meds...
