Yup, that's me. 14 year marriage which was offshoot of a 13 year friendship. But get this, he's add and I adhd. Torks me off when I think of what could have been if we'd both been willing to admit this.
And no, I wasn't happy either, but could be now that I know what the problem was. Am on meds but still suffer the procrastination adn overwhelmed feelings. But NOW I don't get upset with everyone cause things are getting done, I just accept things aren't going to be perfect. I relapse now and again but hey Progress, not perfection right?

Oh My Gosh!
This is my first time to this blog and this post: (ADD, depression and divorce) jumped right out at me!! This is right where I am. I can totally relate to S.W. I lost a 25 year marriage, feel so alone despite lots of friends and family, had to move, and trying to put my life back together. I also have to find a career, since I was a stay at home mom for 20 years. The depression and feeling of overwhelm have me totally stuck. The divorce became final 1 year ago and I\’m still having the ups and downs (mostly downs).
I can\’t figure out how to get un-stuck!!
I\’m so angry at the ADD with its\’ procrastination, disorganization, overwhelm etc. I just can\’t get out of my own way. I am so afraid for the future. How will I be able to support myself in a couple of years when my alimony ends? I feel hopeless…
