Okay, I just need to organize them betterGuys, we need an intervention. I think we are losing him!
They certainly won't understand if a fear of causing a conflict leads you to not communicate.I've got plenty to say, but will rein myself in for now. People either understand or they don't.
Ah, thank you for the heads-up. The struggles that can come with service are a different ball-park than what I was talking about, and as you say, those that have them should talk when and with who they choose, if they choose.Sometimes it goes deeper than folks want to put out in public. Especially with military veterans, they will talk when and where they want.

Holy ****, you just described me to a T.I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and they tried Rittlen (SP Forgive) and my father said it sped me up, Coffee/C affine actually helps calm my mind which the Doctors said happens with some, weird I know, it's kinda like the little squirrel in the movie "Over the Hedge".
ADHD doesn't mean you have issues concentrating, it means you have problems concentrating on individual things one at a time which is why we are horrible day dreamers and terrible at completing single task in a timely manner, we bounce from thing to thing a lot, the new term for it is Squirrel!, I get that a lot, "oh, you squirreled".... So for me written todo list, mental discipline and self control are deadly important, I have worked my entire life getting this down and I am still working on it. I my professional life I am a problem solver/designer and there is nothing better than a project with a lot of moving parts because that is the level my brain works at, High stress with lots going on (retirement is going to be a challenge). In my personal world I always have 4 or 5 things going an I take a bit more time than most but I work it all out, I'll usually stop and think things through on one thing while working on another....
Other issues I have is I am nocturnal and I live on 4 to 5 hours of sleep a day...
Sorry, TMI, didn't mean to ramble, "Squirrel".....
No, they just called us hyperactive and made it out like we were bad kids.Self diagnosed something or other....
My mom is a former educator that used me to test all kinds of learning stuff. But, I don't think they even had ADHD as a diagnosis back when I was a kid so no medication or accommodations for me. Earlier this year I finally finished my Math 100 course and at the end of this month I start my final Math 114 course which will complete my bachelors degree program just before my 59th birthday. Oh what a different path I could have taken if I had just stuck with college once in the half dozen times I started.
Bah,
