Dear All,

Hi,

I wanted to ask few questions to all of you.

One Q that I can think of now is about something that I miss in my life.

Its hard to describe how its for me..I feel like diluted or fragmented having no capacity to command my life, day or even a moment's impulse. It feels like a feather being blown, wandering aimlessly in the sky.

When it comes to thoughts I have lots of it but when it comes to application of those thoughts I miss the bus. Its like on the appointed moment I miss all this composure, my head and walk with whatever impulse that comes to my mind.

I have anxieties with men, women and even children..I cant cope with any pressure..in the outside world I feel like a headless chicken running on the steets..and there is so much to it yet what I miss the most is not having a sense of wholeness..

The docs that I have been to so far..suggested me to give a self-talk, to breathe deeply and do Yoga but none of them worked because come what may..even If I had the most brillient thought to fight against my fears or impulses...I always gave it in to my fears/impulses even before they asked me to do it...there are times when I controlled myself a little better..but then again there was no guarantee that I will be able to carry this attitude in the next moment.

I have had no experience of ADD medicines..but I doubt any med will do me any good in giving me binding me together into ONE person. Then again I hear that these meds are costly and have side effects..as it is I have a weak constitution so would want as much less troubles on that front as possible.

As much as possible I want to do it with self-awareness, and some working plan like they say about few therepies like NLP.

Since there arent many people around here(in my country)who'd give me so much time to listen to me and help me out..I'd be grateful if someone of you were to reply to me and tell me how is it that I can get this feeling of coming wholesome..sticking together in my head so that I can walk, work around my other big problems.

I heard of NLP works for adders but as I understand its a therepy that involves taking clues from certain guestures from self..so that onus is again on me and somehow I dont trust myself in my hands..have seen too many failures in the past, present.

Can this binding into one feeling be felt by an ADD person?
can I be whole. Too much of my effort goes into nothing..It takes me hours, days to do a thing(due to procrastination, fear of failure +fear of facing the world, impulses) that a normal man might do in mintues

It cant go on like this..Please Help,

I am sorry to have this post this long..Maybe it illustrates my point too well..any other man would have said this in half as much lines.

With Love,

Nachi

Good post!

Unfortunatly no answeres.

I have many of the same issues in this regard.

Do you tend to feel guilty and wasted?

Are you doing the kind of work that suits you ? Not too easy to answer

Perhaps you are more of a theorist? A thinker than a doer?

We all strive to be normal when there is none!

Sorry if im babbling again - I do that a lot!
