No, no, no - it sounds very much like we are quite the same. I have ALWAYS been on the outside looking in. I haven't even had a job in the last 15 years - I "retired" only because of fortunate circumstances that were no merit of my own.
I just "happened" into figuring out my ADD. I took someone elses Adderall to give myself some energy to clean the house - and I found that it didn't energize me, but rather focus me. It was truly eye-opening.
At 52 - you think I would have figured it out. I was a clown in school at a young age. I had trouble in high school,college, and graduate school because I couldn't study. I became a scientist who couldn't keep a notebook and therfore couldn't ever get anything done. And so on, and so on. I know thats a bit too much information, but it should tell you how others can falter too.
One of the "telltale signs" of ADD is lack of self esteem - perhaps you suffer from that as well as me? Oh well, I've rambled long enough. TIme to take my Adderall and get on with the day. Good luck.
