Hello,
I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I have had MD my entire life but only recently (within the last 6 months) was able to put a name to it. Previously I was calling it (and diagnosed with) ADD, which I always knew wasn't right. I have always considered my ADD to be a flaw, something that is the opposite of achievement. I now know it was never ADD but MD. Simply changing its name has changed the way I think about it. Changed the very nature of what it is.
I'm 40 years old and have tried everything to "cure" my "flaw" from therapy to medications. I recently had a change in job and my new insurance gave me a hard time about my meds (Vyvanse). I think this was the last straw. The very way I think about this has changed. I'm now wondering if I should change my life and construct a life optimized for MD.
Some people describe MD as an escape or caused by trauma. I describe it as something that "happens to me" and that I have no control over it. I'm wondering what difference that makes if any. After 40 years I know it will never stop and frankly I don't want to. I'm much happier than I lot of "more successful people".

Welcome to the forum.
ADD can actually be a comorbid condition with MD, I have both.
