Hi,

This is 'distractedmind', I had long suspected that I have attention deficit disorder, and finally after going through a few websites yesterday my suspicion did turn out to be true. It was a bit, well, a bit depressing and relieving at the same time.

About my situation:
My situation is quite bad currently, I'm moving down the ladder in my job because of ADD while I see all my friends and colleagues moving up. And I am having lot of problems with my manager. I am unfortunate to have a bad manager and he's using all his tricks to literally wear me down as much as he can only because I complained about him some time ago for harassing me. Complaining about this to higher management didn't work. Although this is not related to ADD, its is related to my problem since I cannot get out from working with him because I have ADD and cannot find another job. And to add to this I cannot find a girl for myself. I do dream of better days though, I have a few hobbies, its what is keeping me going on.

I am unable to progress in my career (because I find it a huge problem to study up because I cannot concentrate or focus while studying, because of ADD, and for some strange reason I tend to avoid studying as much as I can) and that is what is keeping me down, in every way.

I hope I can find help here to control my ADD and get my life back. Thanks and I apologize for being so depressing, I wish I had a better life story to tell.
