[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you ever been screened for ADHD? All the descriptions you give of yourself and your upbringing sound awfully familiar, as someone who's had reason to read a lot about ADHD personally. It sounds like you were a bright child with ADHD in a family that didn't recognize that as an issue or ever get it diagnosed and figure out how to alter their parenting and expectations of you appropriately. That stab in the chest over your mother's comment? Feeling disproportionate pain over negative statements is a classic ADHD issue too--and not having the insight as an adult to recognize this as your mother's own human frailty and forgive her for it. There are plenty of screenings for ADHD online to try--and, regardless, get to a therapist. [/quote]
