Was under immense strain in work by very demanding boss. Trying to keep al the balls in the air was next to impossible. Even with the use of a calendar and prioritization of tasks I was feeling the pressure. I also had a tendency to fly off the handle and snap at my partner. I would burn things on the cooker. I would become hyperfocused when using my ipad i would forget that i had to collect my kid from kindergarden and rush out like a headless chicken to try and get there on time. It is a huge hinderance in my life. I reckon most of my family suffer from it but there are totally in denial as i was until i had no choice to accept I had ADD. It is a very destructive mental illness. Yes....it is a mental disability. Ther eis no point in beating about the bush. I am currently taking 5HTP {100mg daily} and L-tyrosine. I feel a lot calmer and less inclined to rush in and make a pigs ear of things. I find it relaxes me but also kills my libido which is a bit of a bummer. I am looking for a new job. I am nervous as I have lost a lot of my self esteem as i went to hell and back in my last job. I am currently using lists and setting myself small tasks to help rebuild my confidence. Keen to know how others with Adult ADD are coping etc
