All of them...that is how I feel in a day. I can use any of those words if not all of them depending. My biggest fear right now is my forgetfulness, it has gotten so bad. I know this may seem really silly and I am not even diagnosed with ADD...but it seems like ever since I started really looking into this it has gotten worse? Can it be phycoligical am I just giving in to it? I really want to get this checked into because all I want to do is cry because of the stage of my life where I may be finding that out. :( and it may not even be that...If it is I really feel for my daughter. Even though she was "tested" and they didn't feel she was...she may just be good at hiding it as they say?

I've found that some days that's all one can do...these words become so ingrained that they are difficult to defeat (hense my first reply). Your appointment is coming (albeit slowly) ... and when it does come, insist that you have a problem and don't let anyone write you off. Remember that no matter what they say, their job is to help you. Period. You have worth, and you have daughters whom I am sure love you and you are doing this for them AND for you! Write out your main issues ahead of time, so that you don't forget when in the therapists' office (very easy to do). And in the meantime, know that others are thinking of you and feel your pain.
