Book Review: You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was diagnosed as having ADHD about 8 years at age 45 then started taking meds which helped me out a great deal. All my life I knew I wasn't "normal" and considered going to a psychiatrist in my 20's and 30's but couldn't find the courage until things got so bad in my 40's I called my family doctor for help. He directed me to a psychiatrist for testing. In hindsight, waiting as long as I did to ask for help was STUPID of me and a huge waste of more productive time with my wife and children. I wasn't a terrible husband and father but wasn't very good one either. I could have been so much more involved in life in so many more ways had I reached out for help decades earlier.
Reading You Mean I'm not Lazy, Stupid or crazy? helped me understand ADHD and myself to a much greater degree than I ever have before. Many times in the book I thought the authors must have been following me around and writing down what I was doing. At least now I can claim there was a book written about me. You will discover that ADD / ADHD comes in many shapes, sizes and colors.
If you are already getting help with your own personal ADHD challenges, this book will further your knowledge and understanding. Coming from someone with a lifetime of experience with ADHD, I want to strongly encourage you to reach out for help and it starts with reading You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! NOW IS THE TIME TO GET A FIRM GRIP ON YOUR LIFE. The first steps in no particular order is to call your doctor and read this book to learn what questions to ask. JUST DO IT! you won't be sorry.
