About Me

I'm an avid swing dancer, a proud Minnesotan by birth, and I've got a soft spot for Boston. I love anything British, used bookstores, and delicious smells emanating from the kitchen.

The Hidden, and Often Neglected, ADD...

I not only have depression. I also have, linked to it, ADD. Adult-style. (Apparently that makes it different somehow from the kind kids have, though exactly how I'm not sure.) But my ADD often gets set off to the side in my self-reflection and self-analysis sessions. I tend to focus on the depression because those effects are more noticeable, more intense.

Maybe I just feel more accomplished at coping with my ADD than I do with my depression, so I don't need to focus on it? I do often forget it's there.

Or maybe thinking about it too much makes me feel more "broken" - just one more thing wrong with me...
