I found this so interesting, because although I'm entering old age I recently discovered that I am ADHD too and it is one of the reasons that I'm a poet. I can express my inner life and follow all the little oddments and flashes which develop into poems. It's a wonderful way to express yourself.

I have words come to me too, that disappear quite quickly. I also find allowing that to happen and writing them down , and drawing/painting; greatly improves my mood and attitude to life in general. I always know I'm in trouble if I have shut down/ or dismiss these activities from my daily life.
