I spent the last year feelling like I had undiagnosed ADD and a learning disability. I couldn't concentrate on "traditional" classes, I couldn't read texts, etc., etc. I did terribly in my classes. In the end, I'm going to assume that one cause was medicinal-- The pdoc said that one of my meds causes a loss of concentration (but the pdoc i saw in the hospital disagreed, so who knows now) and the other cause was that I was just generally unhappy. I'm not at the right place in my life. I know what it feels like to have no direction.
Thanks for asking about the hospital. I spent 5.5 days there, and I'm feeling a lot better now. Not perfect, but definitely better. I have a pdoc appointment tomorrow to follow up. Hopefully that will go well.
I know what you mean about self esteem being a barrier to getting things done. I don't have any magical words for you, but I think that you can do it. I think that you can do anything you put your mind to (when you figure out what you'd like to do, even if it's just leisure time). I think we all can, we all have enormous amounts of untapped-into power that's just ready for the taking. With that said, I don't know if self-esteem is the barrier, but maybe it's just not knowing how to tap into that power that's inherently in each and every one of us.
