Feel free to leave comments on any of the posts...no matter when they were written (there's over four years of posts here). It's not like the issues have suddenly changed. ;) You'll see in your own life that things definitely improve over time. Not that the problems disappear but you're much more aware of them and you're able to manage them. "still no one gets it or believes me" - That's part of the problem with being diagnosed at such a late stage in your life (there are people who have been diagnosed in their 60's). You've gotten this far in life and they wonder why no one noticed it before. If you weren't hyperactive, the most obvious symptom, many wouldn't pick up on it.

“still no one gets it or believes me” – That’s part of the problem with being diagnosed at such a late stage in your life (there are people who have been diagnosed in their 60′s). You’ve gotten this far in life and they wonder why no one noticed it before. If you weren’t hyperactive, the most obvious symptom, many wouldn’t pick up on it.

“Your post took my breath away (as did your site). ” – Thank you!!

Congrats & Thanks from an "ADD chick" (found Zoe's blog tonite too, thanks to you).

I think this particular post took about two weeks to write. And now that you have been diagnosed...hang in there. It *does* get better. It just takes time. Learn as much as you can about ADD. Read books about it. And keep trying and trying. Jeff JJ,

Fits me to a 't.' I am but a mere 45, but was untreated until six months ago. I can relate to 100% of what you wrote. Godspeed, by brother.
