About 8 years ago, I got into management, and I have changed jobs 5 times since then. I was working harder than ever and trying to succeed - working nights and weekends to keep up, but I couldn't. I went into counseling because I had gradually lost my self-esteem because of the disappointment of not succeeding at my new career. My counselor told me that I had many symptoms of ADHD. I had never thought about it until she mentioned it. ADHD was something I heard of when my daughter was in elementary school and some of her friends had it. My counselor referred me to a child psychologist who tested me for it, and diagnosed it.

I started a new job one month ago, and I am starting to take care of myself and really think about what I need to succeed. I think things will be looking more positive with this approach.
