My son has adhd, with an anxiety disorder. for the longets time we saw this as a negative. Yes there are challenges unique to his condition, but we found that he's very gifted in other areas...while adhd kids have a short attention, they also have something called hyper focus. they are able to completely focus on every detail of something...
...so what I'm saying is that instead of your diagnosis being a curse, it's probably a blesing in at least one area...you just need to discover what that blessing is.

I agree here KitsapGirl. My apologies if I sound boastful or prideful but my OCD condition also makes me very articulate (maybe not so well verbally), inquisitive & able "to the connect dots" (so to speak) allot better than I would if I did not have my condition. I believe my OCD makes me very thorough & makes it easier for me to see things from others perspectives. Though I do have my faults due to this issue (& these faults can make me feel as if I’m in my own personal hell at times) I also do have certain benefits. I believe I can look further beneath the surface than I would be able to if not for this condition & my eyes are more open regarding many situations in life. I believe it’s very possible if it wasn’t for my condition that I would have never became a Christian because I would never have found certain truths or possibilities that cleared up allot of issues (that I had a hard time swallowing or agreeing with) while digging, searching & questioning the bible. To sum this up I believe we each are given our own “talents & limitations”. Again what matters is to keep trying when dealing with our “talents & limitations”.
