I've been reading about it and found out about INATTENTIVE ADHD which needs a different name, IMO, since I was never the child who "can't sit still" so I always assumed I couldn't have ADHD.
and since I clearly have clinical anxiety all the deficits I'm having in Executive Functioning might be caused by that - or by dementia starting or a bunch of other things - BUT the more I read about ADHD the more I find that applies to me.
not sure what to do about it besides more research, but if there is a reason I can't get organized and struggle so much just to get things done, then maybe I can be more forgiving of myself since the shame/blame thing doesn't help at all.
My current therapist (who isn't very good, IMO) doesn't seem to know much about it and I already know I do not want to use medication for it, but I do want to know more about non-medication techniques and have several library books ordered.
and if anyone else here has ADHD I'd be interested in your story.
