I am angry at myself for waiting so long to get help for this. I also suffer from major depression, so I thought that was why I screwed everything up. I know I should feel better knowing this is not my fault, but I'm 40 years old and it's hitting me that a lot of people think I'm slow and an idiot. My ex-boyfriend used to call me a spaceshot all the time. I've cried every day since being diagnosed. Anyone else feel the same sometimes?

Yes! I blamed myself for everything, just as my mother did, and my successes are all luck or something. I am now 68, and I still cannot remember what I was planning to do if there is any distraction available--TV, Internet, book, catalogs to flip through and daydream. I have known about my ADD for a lot of yeears but I had to stop my meds because I was hallucinating. I am now physically disabled, and feeling that I wasted my whole life by being depressed and wallowing in self-pity, with no possibility of a meaningful future. I am so glad there is somewhere where I can rant about this.
