ADDitude - ADD & ADHD Symptom Tests, Signs, Treatment, Support

Most people could not tolerate the voices that echo in my head all day, pointing out every little thing I've done wrong: Why did I say that? How could I forget to pay the bills? Why didn’t I wake up on time? What is the matter with me? I’m dumb. How could I be so forgetful? Why can’t I say no? How could I forget to buy eggs when I’m holding the shopping list in my hand? This relentless barrage of self-reproach make us feel unworthy, incapable, and inadequate. We are our own harshest critics.
