What are your thoughts and opinions about control? I'm talking in the general sense, like control over your life.

For me, when I was undiagnosed I truly felt like someone or something else was making my decisions for me. Maybe not literally, but I felt that a lot of the time my choices were limited. Or I had to comprimse on what I wanted to do.

While diagnosis has helped me to regain some of that sense of control, I feel like ADHD sometimes has the upper hand. Not always, but sometimes.

Hopefully someone will get what I'm trying to say! :p

Hmm. I've never really felt that my BIG choices were limited, other than as a result of my own previous choices. The little, everyday things do leave me feeling like I'm at the mercy of another force.
Ironically (or not), I'm a pretty big control FREAK about a lot of things!
