After my daughter was diagnosed with ADD (shocked me) and I started researching it, realized that I was 90% sure I had it as well. Dealt with it for my whole life but due to massive stress a couple years ago coupled with change of life, the ADD started interfering with my job performance and social life.

It took 2 years of procrastinating (you know how it is!) to make an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic where they give you 5 different types of tests to rule out other causes. I was diagnosed with adult ADHD. I told them I was not hyperactive and they said watch myself sit for an hour. Well - I never realized how much I move, talk with my hands and just can not sit still - LOL.

Anyway - was wondering if there are other business professionals out there that are the same predicament? My words are getting jumbled up, work is suffering and I think its due to getting older, stress or too many job responsibilities? I really try not to talk too much (hah!) and interrupt (another hah!) but I do think a lot of my behavior is due to this ADD.

Would love to hear from others. I have mentioned to a couple friends but the response is EVERYONE has ADD.

May you speak without garbling or interrupting and can focus enough to get all your work done!!
