I am a43 year old female, diagnosed with ADD, Inattentive type about 2 years ago and still fighting to get the best of it.  My husband has always been great.  I often wonder how he puts up with my forgetfulness, disorganization, clumsiness, etc, etc, etc.  Will he one day get tired of the struggle?  I don't feel like I deserve him.

 

I have worked several jobs in offices trying, I suppose, to live up to what my father considers an acceptable job.  I now work part-time in an animal shelter and love it.  I am much happier working with the animals than in anything I have ever done with my life.  I feel, though, that there should be more for me.  The pay is low and I need to find my "niche" and a way to make money in what I love.

 

Anyway, it's a daily struggle for me.
