Many of us have "clues" that lead us to believe we may suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

• You may have been told by others that you're "thin skinned" or emotional. You feel more than others; more perceptive or intuitive. Emotional regulation and sensitivity to rejection are traits of Adult ADHD that are often overlooked but can cause serious disruption to your life and relationships.

• You're likely a high-achiever, expert at hyperfocus—but mostly with the things that interest you or provide some kind of pleasure. The other "stuff" doesn't really interest, no matter how important. You're easily bored. But, you also have a compulsion to keep trying hard—and have all your life. Trying to become engaged is often beyond what you can handle and you may end up feeling frustrated and wondering what's wrong with you. You know you're smart but you just can't stick with that which doesn't interest you.
  
  
• You may also identify with feelings of perfectionism.  If you can't do something perfectly, well, there's no point in starting. This leads to procrastination because the time is never "right".
  
  
• You've reached heights in your career that others envy, though they may not realize fully what it has taken for you to get there. In fact, you may feel as if people knew the "real" you, they would reject you entirely. It's been no easy ride. Others don't see the late nights, the constant worry and anxiety and spinning that goes on in your head, wondering if you're on the right path. Trying to convince yourself you are smart. That you can do this.
  
  
• Your career as a professional or C-Suite executive is a direct result of your hyperfocus, yet you have a gnawing feeling in your gut. The words "Imposter Syndrome" ring in your head every time you sense judgement or criticism from others. Getting where you are has taken alot from you personally as well as from your relationships.

• Irresistible urges are commonplace and relentless. Days, hours—minutes, even—are full of distraction and overwhelm leaving you exhausted. It's likely you've put systems in place to alleviate some of the suffering that accompanies these challenges but in truth they bring little solace. In fact, the journey to feeling better about yourself when living with ADHD can feel as if it's always just out of reach with feelings of self-criticism and judgment.
