Super-Charged



"Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save." - Will Rogers

It is official. I have AADHD.

...It's like being super-charged all the time. You get one idea and you have to act on it, and then, what do you know, but you've got another idea before you've finished up with the first one, and so you go for that one, but of course a third idea intercepts the second, and you just have to follow that one, and pretty soon people are calling you disorganized and impulsive and all sorts of impolite words that miss the point completely. Because you're trying really hard. It's just that you have all these invisible vectors pulling you this way and that, which makes it really hard to stay on task. -Edward M. Hallowell

I am in the Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity league with Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas A. Edison, George Bernard Shaw, the Wright brothers, and Albert Einstein, as well as successful modern politicians (Bill Clinton and George W. Bush). Ofcourse, I found this list on a website where the goal is to make folks feel better about having AADHD.
