ADHD & Women
I am floored. I just read this article (link in my Link of the Day on the right side column) about ADHD in women. I have always felt like such a scatter brain as well as possibly suffering from some sort of hormonal depression for the last couple years. Fortunately I've studied psychology and the ins and outs of depression and similar problems so that never sat well with me. Then at one point a military doctor tried to diagnose me with an anxiety disorder. This article really puts things in perspective since ADD has also been a suspect since early elementary school. I highly recommend you read this article and you will seriously see what I mean. It is very enlightening not to mention a burden off my shoulders. Just a disclaimer, I am in no way diagnosing myself. I do not plan on getting diagnosed with it, but will accept that there are many women out there who are experiencing similar problems and struggles and I a not alone. There are some fixes that are safe and easy. I've been so insecure about my inability to focus, remember the important stuff, and stay orginized in even simple ways it has caused me no end of anxiety bringing me to feel flawed and "not good enough". I won't go on now. I only just read the article. More later.

I really need to look into this for F.
