Writing: living with ADD

[Colorlove]

I like to journal. I think I would consider myself as a creative writer. Writing memoirs are my thing. It’s my way of coping and expressing myself when emotions are overwhelming. In my previous post I’m re-reading it and noticed I am missing some events in some topics. 😄 can anyone relate?

I use to love journaling and writing poetry. I can no longer focus long enough to do either.

Hi Colorlove, I'm not sure what post, nor what events but I can relate to journaling, although I have slowed down on journaling in these recent years. I have a lot of journals, binfuls. I have many half filled notebooks and journals too. I've not read them over too much but I know they have a lot of depression in them from my half my life. It seems I've been too busy to write during some of the biggest events of my life, which is kind of frustrating. But my recent years of journaling are more actively trying to heal myself through art. Less feelings of helplessness. I have a lot of problems with words, sentence and paragraph structure, although I scored higher with verbal over visual.
