How can I stop feeling guilty about having adult ADD?

I have taken to referring to the gifts of adult attention deficit disorder (ADD) as "the ADD zone." Living in your ADD zone means not feeling guilt for what you cannot do. One woman sheepishly reported that she enjoyed parenting more after she got divorced and had shared custody arrangements.

This bit of mixing it up met some of her basic needs and increased her enjoyment of parenting. Ask yourself, "What do I need to realize to stop feeling guilty?" Generate as many possible answers as you can.

Some answers that may help include the following:I need to realize that I'm different because I'm ahead of the curve, not because I'm stupid. I need to realize that others don't benefit from me feeling guilty. I need to realize that others don't want me to feel guilty.

I need to realize that I have a right to stand up for my own personal style. I need to realize that doing things beyond normal expectations is high-level problem solving. I need to realize that acting without full analysis of costs is part of how I'm hardwired.

I need to realize that I am more than my ADD. I need to realize that I have permission to live inside my ADD zone. I need to realize that I can't possibly do it all.

I need to realize that I can't possibly live up to others' expectations. I need to realize that my big ideas are my treasures. These are just to get you started.

Write out as many possible answers as you can. Use these phrases to ask for what you need in your relationships. Advocate for yourself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
