[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse is very together but I've been wondering if I have undiagnosed or low level ADHD. We deal with it in the traditional way with genders reversed - he does more around the house and I work longer and earn more. I am great at keeping lists of what needs to be done, not so great at execution.

I know this didn't answer the question but I'm posting because I minorly flooded my bathroom turning on the shower and not noticing the shower head was on the floor whole reading this thread....

I don't want to single anyone out here but I have questions for those with ADHD. How do you feel about have problems like this and how does it make you feel? I'm honestly curious and not trying to be rude or snarky or anything like that at all.[/quote]

Well, when I was growing up, I felt awful and like I couldn’t get anything together.  As a young adult, prior to diagnosis, I sometimes felt worthless.  I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t do things that other people could.  I attempted suicide at one point.

Like others, I was diagnosed when my child was diagnosed.  A light bulb went off.  I started to read about it and understand myself and my child better and was able to explain myself to other people better.  I wrote above that I always make sure to tell my friends to call me if they are bored.  I will likely want to make plans that day!

I hope my kids don’t have the experience that I did growing up.
