In a thread above about feeling ugly Janice wrote the following as a characterization for ADD indicators:
> *I used to (I have 'cured' this symptom) have extreme difficulties being organized and clean. I was unable (although I have a high IQ and am a gifted student) to figure out how a room got messy and how a room got clean.
> *I'm intenseJudging by some of the commentary in another thread here somewhere about messy rooms & minds & based on my own experience and reading elsewhere I'd say both of these would qualify as symptoms of depression. Regardless, I am curious what solutions you (or others) found for dealing with this, J.
You also wrote:
> So far, none of my accomplishments mean anything to me. I wonder how you get accomplishments to mean anything? I'm not depressed, but how do you get things to matter to you. I find that what others deem to be of high value generally seems useless and petty to me. By my nature, I am basically a complete rebel.
>I relate to this as well and suspect others here will as well. How does that link to the former statement & results in your mind. Certainly for me I only partially value tidiness and extreme organization though I could certainly benefit from more of both. Others?
