Yes!!! When I was a kid, the only way I could get myself psyched for bed was to pretend that it was a boat that was going to leave the dock when the clock struck 830. I would run around collecting up all my boat ride needs (snacks, cat, blankies..) and be in bed with them, unable to get up from the bed all night because it was the ocean that surrounded me. It was so satisfying to know that I had all the things I'd need, and that no one could reach me out at sea to bug me. I felt safe.

Speaking with my son recently, also adhd. He told me he sets difficult deadlines, times himself. I realised I've done this in the past. I also like the idea of deffered gratification, homework first, jam later. You can't have the reward, till you've done the task. It's limited in use, as we can find ourselves in a state where nothing appeals, far too despondent to care. But achieving your goals and keeping your life together, leads to an overall good mindset, the lows aren't as common or strong.

@eg348, the reason adhd seems so “popular” is that docs are studying and broadening the diagnostic criteria now. Also so many mothers who are taking their struggling children to be evaluated are finding that they answer affirmative to many of the questions as well. Adhd is not a “label”, it’s not someone “not trying hard enough”, it is a difference in cognition which neurotypical folks don’t have to deal with every day of their lives. Realize that the potential of entire applicable generations of women (Silents, Boomers, X and Y) have been lost due to “way-laid” brain function. Imagine how rich the world would be and how lives would be different if women were not struggling so much for so long.

You were self medicating, as most alcoholics and drug addicts do. Congratulations on your sobriety and recognizing your struggles. As a child of an alcoholic, as well as a niece and cousin of alcoholics, I understand the difficult life you have probably had and I commend you and I will pray for your continued success. 🙏❤️🙏

OMG! I’m so glad to hear that and to be continually learning about all the things I didn’t think any one but me did. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. And while I will always be ‘weird’, I’m realizing more and more that for someone with ADHD I’m pretty ‘normal’. I’m 55, and I’ve spent 95% of my life being completely unaware that all the strange things I do are symptoms of ADHD, they didn’t know anything about it when I was growing up, so much that I wasn’t even diagnosed until I was an adult. At this point it doesn’t really matter because it’s all done. But I do feel like my life could have been so different had my family and I known about all this stuff when I was young.

I'm 55 also... They tried to diagnose me when I was a child, but the only thing they had was Ritalin and I do not know what strength they tried, but my mother swore I was awake for 3 days. I was never diagnosed again. I know now, and I also wonder how my life could have been different.

That's part of ADHD?! I just thought I was being extremely efficient. Everything I do is to see how many things can get done at the same time. I don't do well having to wait on something (like filling up a pot). I even switch up my makeup routine in hopes of getting ready faster. Ha!

😂😂😂😂😂 about 3 times in a row now, I've left the water running into a jug for more than 5 mins because I simply walked away for "30secs" that literally turned into about 10mins one time and about 6mins the second time. These happened on back-to-back days this week. So I just stand there and wait to finish.
