Well, it's official

I have ADHD as well. I NEVER would have guessed this until I started reading books about it to help me understand Shannon, and I also started seeing a psychologist. Even Shannon's counselor thought I showed signs of having it since the day she met me.

Ever since I was a kid, I have always felt a little "off" and totally out of place. I'm famous for random outbursts and constantly putting my foot in my mouth. As a child, my parents would joke about paying me to be quiet for 5 minutes even. So many things make sense now. Now I know how what needs to be done, I just don't have a clue where to start. I'm excited to make some big changes. I'm ready to stop feeling so socially awkward. I want to be able to finish all the projects I start. I'm tired of procrastinating because I'm entirely too overwhelmed. I'm SO ready to tackle this thing head on.

Anyway, I'm off to Barnes and Noble to buy a book or two. Happy Friday!

P.S. - I'll be back to do the 5QF later!

That is great that you have found your answer to what has made you feel different. I am sorry you felt that way but it is great to have the ability to help yourself feel better. You have been trying for so long to know what was going on with Shannon and now you know. I hope you feel better and this will help you be able to understand yourself and Shannon more.
