Hi! I'm new here, just in the door. Someone suggested to me I might have ADD (I'm 57). I've previously thought I was just depressed, bi-polar, or PTSD. Smorgasbord self-analysis.

Anyway, been trying to separate causes from effects, and realized a lot of my anxiety and depression comes out of my extreme procrastination and tendency to clutter. ADD makes sense for me in that context, and the scenarios you've described in this thread match my experience very closely.

I'm based in Ireland, though, where medication is often harder to come by, and informed therapists / counsellors almost impossible to find near my town.

So this is to say thanks, and wish me luck!
