What the dangers zones to avoid when you have an ADD or ADHD diagnosis. Read More












One more trap
The type A boss. Don't work for this type of person if you can at all help it!
While working on an issue at work, I will at a point of frustration, take a walk. When my boss can't find me at my desk "working" on it, she gets furious. However, 9 times out of 10 my walks produce the answer I was searching for. I make the connection, see the pattern that sitting and staring at a computer screen would have eluded me indefinately. I often "find" the answers while humming a tune.
A belief
I think our people have little care for stability and responsibility in the tradition societal respect ; maybe this is why we become artists of all sorts.It does seem to point to a more melancholic trait though.I think when we talk about ADD, two things get addressed -our brain traits and our mood traits. Our mood traits do not seem to be unique when shared by others with melancholy but without ADD.I think this could be an interesting delving into.Does our melancholy differ from someone without ADD? When I give you praise it's for your general continuity and consistency,according to an accurate shared view.
Avoiding ADD traps
I appreciate your tip about talking to lawyers; however, as a lawyer who is also ADD I have to disagree with you. The truth is, ADD is often an advantage as an attorney because ADDers have a knack of ferreting through information quickly, discarding the relevant from the irrelevant and getting to the heart of an issue. That's not to say that ADD doesn't make it harder in some areas, and I have to constantly watch my time management and attention to detail in order to be a good attorney. These are not natural skills of mine.
