I was diagnosed yesterday with ADD (after a long process). I visited my doctor because my husband and kids were complaining that I was vacant a lot, when they spoke to me I wouldn't absorb anything, and sometimes so hyper focused in my own world it seemed I was ignoring them.
Only after visiting the doctor and surprisingly getting the referral for ADHD did I really research the symptoms. I was really surprised because it was like reading a description of myself.
I go to the supermarket for eggs and come back with bread and have to go there again.
I always felt different, but never really understood why. I was labelled lazy, laid-back, weird, chatty....intelligent and super clever also.

For me breaking point is that I can't seem to reach my goals, even though I work hard at something (in my mind), and walking against the wind is a good description.

Good luck!
