Hi all,

I just stumbled onto psychcentral and joined today.

I have been looking through the posts in the ADD forum and this thread really caught my attention.

I have developed many of these same coping mechanisms on my own over the 30 years I have had this disorder.

I have never joined in a ADD support forum as of today, but I feel I have been separated at birth among you all.

I am getting exhausted with the gazillions of thoughts going through my head every waking hour and am desperate to finding a way to quiet my mind. It really is a bummer holding a relationship and taking 3 to 4 times longer than necessary in doing my regular and school work.

I will continue looking at the other posts. I have already found a wealth of information. I am overwhelmed with the amount and am trying to organize my plan of attack.

Anyway, I am glad to come across you all and am thankful for this resource. I will make it a goal to contribute my assets as well.
