  1. Ik heb z’on hersenmeting laten doen en inderdaad kwam er bij mij een add brein uit, ik heb ook snel last van angsten en dit was daar ook in te zien samen met een gevoeligheid voor verslavingen, dit alles gaat vaak samen met ADD.
    Extraordinary to be able to see my symptoms reflected in my brain like this.

  2. Ik heb z’on qeeg gehad nog voor de officiële diagnose, ik wist gewoon dat ik add had.
    Dit bleek ook uit de EEG meting ik had een add/adhd brein, ik vind deze meting eigenlijk veel betrouwbaarder als al die vragenlijsten en gesprekken, oke ik voldoe 100% aan de kenmerken maar als iemand dit niet heeft dan is z’on hersenmeting toch juist doorslaggevend?

  3. Het valt me op dat er jammer genoeg over het algemeen véél wordt gesproken over de negatieve punten van ADD.
    Don't forget that ADD has positives too!

    1. Hi Frank,
      Positive sides to AD(H)D are of course plentiful. Take a look here for a list of positive characteristics of ADD and here for 10 benefits of ADD and ADHD :)
      Also be sure to read This inspiring story by John Loporto about the eagle as a metaphor for people with ADD and ADHD.
      In the past, I wrote this article on AD(H)D in society where I also discuss the positive aspects of ADD and ADHD.
      Enough reading material for a while? ;)

  4. My thoughts on ADD, the diagnosis I received several years ago, have changed a lot in recent weeks.... ADD has made my life hell in a society where there was no room for who I am.
    Expectation patterns that I could not meet with any possibility broke me to the ground. The ADD diagnosis gave me a reason why, and that helped me for a while. Understanding why I couldn't do what others, seemingly effortlessly, could. Still, ADD remained my weakness that I just had to learn to live with....
    I was offered medication and counselling after the diagnosis but the counselling did not come and, being a true ADD-er, I did not pursue it myself either.... So the course of treatment and medication passed me by, thank God (I say now).
    My turning point:
    3 weeks ago, I did a workshop where my heart, which had been closed for so long, opened....
    And therein lies the big change from how I look at ADD now....
    By opening my heart, my ADD brain no longer works on its own but in service to my heart, I receive and can pass on information in a completely different way.
    After all these years (42) of struggling, I now understand what I need this brain for and it is my greatest strength!

    Ik hoop dat ik met mijn verhaal mensen kan inspireren om te stoppen met je aanpassen, je te laten verdoven door medicatie om maar mee te kunnen draaien in deze maatschappij en op zoek te gaan naar jouw eigen waarheid.. Ontdek de kracht van jouw brein door je hart te volgen en te gaan staan voor wie je werkelijk bent want je bent precies zoals je hoort te zijn!! 💚

    1. As a side note, I would like to say that I am not against counselling or medication if that is what someone needs at a particular time because I know better than anyone how difficult it can be, just that it was not my path to walk.
      My piece is more about inviting people to look for their (heart) strength because, ADD in my case, I have it for a reason!

    2. Hi Mirjam,

      Vergeet niet dat je zo veel meer bent dan alleen je diagnose, het zegt alleen iets over de dingen die je lastig vindt of moeilijk. Je bent zoveel meer dan je diagnose. Je bent een zus een dochter een…vul maar in.
      Ultimately, the diagnosis doesn't say that much, it's about how you organise your life so that you have little to no trouble with the things you find difficult.
      I may join in the conversation, having ASD myself and with a segment of ADD. ;)

      1. Hey Jeff!!! How cool of you to respond here!!!
        And thank you for allowing me now to explain my message here even further.... It's because by fully opening my heart and really being who I am, I no longer have any symptoms!
        My brain now receives information through my heart... And with that information I can help others because I can now feel what is going on at the energy level and translate that so that people can do something with it.... So that gives my head the work it's meant for... And with that, the ADD symptoms disappeared! Instead of being dreamy, lax, always late, chaotic, etc., I am now. Present, punctual, determined and organised. So I didn't learn to live with it but this diagnosis is literally my strength!

        Love Mirjam
