My sister suggested I try this out after reading a post about someone with similar issues to me. I guess I'll give it a go.
I find it very difficult to introduce myself because at 40 years old, I still don't really have a clue. With the sole exception of computer gaming, I change my interests about as often as I change my T-shirts. I was diagnosed with ADHD by doctors in America when I was 7 but the Ritalin that they prescribed made it difficult to sleep and after the doctors decided to prescribe sleeping pills to me at 7 years old my parents decided they did not want a child medicated up to the eyeballs so we forgot the whole thing.
I was always below average in school, partially because of my lack of concentration and partly due to the extreme bullying I suffered throughout my entire school life. At 16 the bullying ended but only because school did and since then I have always kind of struggled to figure out who I am, what I want to do with my life and where I was going. I've done a hundred different types of jobs, never stuck with any of them until now. Now I am a helper to a 7 year old boy in a wheelchair and I love my job. I still have no idea what I will do in a couple years when he leaves the school.
As for my love life, I have just one question. What is a love life? I'm 40 years old but have been single for about 37 of those years. Didn't have my first girlfriend until 21 and currently have been single for a few years. In truth I cannot picture it happening again. My mother is always correcting me when I start a sentence with, "If I ever meet someone...". She always says I should say, "When I met someone..." but I don't have much faith anymore that it ever will or even can happen again. We'll see.
Anyway, sorry my introduction is so long, I have a tendency to ramble.
