Hi everyone!
I have just been diagnosed with ADD about a month ago and am trying to connect with some fellow ADDers. I am 44 and did not have the hyperactivity which allowed my ADD to go undetected until I started have problems in my marriage. After a year of counseling we began to suspect I had ADD. This was confirmed about a month ago. I have started on Strattera and started counseling last week. I am trying to find something I am good at. Seems my dreams got lost a long time ago. Hope I can contribute to the forum as I learn new things.

Jim: Welcome to the forums.....It is nice to have you here.....I'll bet there are things you are good at.....and I'll bet you have a lot of hidden talents.....Perhaps you haven't tapped into these energies yet......

Maybe after you've been on your meds for a little while, you can re-embrace your dreams....:) Perhaps they are more "in cognito" at the moment than totally lost....

Keep posting here...and you will get lots of continuous support..:)

Thanks Joan!
I have survived over the years. I have actually worked for same company for 15years now and am a supervisor. I struggle with deadlines and getting things done everyday. I do not have a lot of self confidense, but I never give up. I hope I did not sound to hopeless. I know I have some good traits otherwise i would not be where I am now. I just have resigned myself to reacting to things as they hapeen instead of some big dream. Anyway thanks!

Howdy Jimsocks, welcome to the bunch... and congratulations for having survived your life in spite of not knowing what was trying to hold you back...
