Understanding why goes a long way in helping to heal your spirit - it did for me, at least. I'm glad you found us! And definitely pick up that book that Dana recommended - it's a great great resource!

I hope that everything works out with you and your ADHD! There are so many wonderful and helpful books available to read that are very educational and so interesting about ADHD. I especially love the book called "WOMEN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER" by Sari Solden.

Anyways, I understand the challenges that you are experiencing with ADHD since I have similar challenges. Check out my blog on struggling with motivation. I hope to get to know you better! Take care!
