Looking back on my life, I have faced many challenges and setbacks that have only strengthened my resolve for personal growth. It is perseverance -- despite weakness -- which has made me strong. I am back on deployment again, and my ship has set sail for South America and the Caribbean. For the last three weeks, I have slowly been getting back in the swing of things back at sea.

Don't get me wrong -- I fully intended to make my way back to these past love affairs and I still...Continue Reading »

Dear Mr. Know-It-All, You don't believe that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a real mental condition? I will tell you why I know for a fact there is such a thing as ADD/ADHD.

Meet Ben T., ADDitude's newest blogger, who was diagnosed with ADHD as a child but has only come into thriving with his ADHD traits, and managing his ADHD symptoms, as a young adult. Hi, my name is Ben and I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). Now you all say, "Hi, Ben!" The truth is, this is not Alcoholics Anonymous, and I have not been sober during my 28-plus years on this planet. I am slobbering drunk with ADD/ADHD, so I hope you won't mind if I say anything silly (in this blog post or...Continue Reading » « All Blogs |
