I've already had a massive post about this before, but when I was diagnosed with ADD I had no idea how much of my life it was affecting.

Until I saw this video about 3 years ago, it shook me to my core, everything he said lined up and made sense now. I used to go by the name BallisticGe0rge because of my short temper. I always thought that was just who I was, but this explained it.

Edit - Here's the entire series of his presentation, anyone dealing with ADHD should definitely watch it.

"I always thought that was just who I was"

That was the biggest thing for me when I was diagnosed-- realizing that these short comings are not who I am, but something that I deal with.
