Adult ADHD Symptoms ... Not So Daily Success... Part 1

It took 34 years for me to be formally diagnosed with adult ADHD, but I've always had the classic adult ADHD symptoms that have lead to "not so daily success"...

I started this blog last week with vigor and the idea of facing the challenge of beating my students. That was February 2.... today is February 13.

And... this is my second post. It only came because Melanie (my wife) told me to do it. No, really, I've been meaning to do this for the past two weeks, but I finally did it because I was reminded to do it... (and only gave me 30 minutes to do it... I've already gone over...)

So here is a start of my Adult ADHD Symptoms... because to get to where you want to be... you have to see where you have been... no matter how painful..

If you look at places like http://www.webmd.com/ or http://www.about.com/ and other places on Adult ADHD Symptoms, you'll find lists of these symptoms. (Check out http://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/guide/adhd-adults and http://psychology.about.com/od/adhd/a/adhd_adult.htm)

First - I don't think you can really understand these adult ADHD symptoms unless you have them yourself (in otherwords - if you can relate... then, again, you too may have adult ADHD / ADD). (Another tangent - I'm full of them - Melanie sent me an article from MSN that I'm in the middle of reading - but starts out well - about living and loving someone with adult ADHD. Check it out on your own time:  http://health.msn.com/health-topics/adhd/adult/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100253978&gt1=31001 ) Link Fixed

Second - You can't really understand your own adult adhd symptoms without looking at them in depth.

My next posts will explore my own adult ADHD symptoms - so maybe it will shed some light for you, dear reader. However, I need to get it out again, so that I can continue to learn from it myself, and try to make my life more of a Daily Success. (Daily posts would probably help... Inconsistency is my #1 adult ADHD symptom.)

See you tomorrow!
