What was your primary emotion upon learning that you or your child has ADD?

 
What was your primary emotion upon learning that you or your child has ADD?
Relief - finally answers to what's been puzzling
Optimism - pursuing treatment will change my life
Shame - it's uncomfortable for me to tell others about this diagnosis
Regret - if only we'd known sooner, how different life might have been
Sadness - what I thought was unique about me turns out to be a "disorder"

    Thank God! Finally I know what's been messing up my life so badly. Now for the educating and hopefully improvement. Guess I'll have some explaining to do to all the people who got hurt along the way.
