Thank you, Bonnie for your kind words.
As I have gotten older it has become worse.
My Dr. told me my thyroid disorder makes my A.D.D. 10 times worse.

Many people with ADD suffer depression.
I have had a battle with depression for a long time.

Why do I feel guilt and shame?
Because my family has suffered for my failures.
I cannot put my thoughts in order.
It's as though they swim around inside my head.
My way of dealing with the confusion is to go on Shut Down mode.

I fear failure so much that I give up.
It's very scary to feel that everything you do is wrong.
Whether it's true or not, it's how I feel.

All my relationships have suffered from it and the problems is, no one really understands unless they have it.
Trying to explain it to my family is like me talking Greek.
Then, I have panic attacks because I am so frustrated with myself.
