Yeah, I suppose. I don't think of that much, though. Regrets or rethinking what could have been have never been a problem for me. But they cause much pain for many I've spoken to diagnosed with Adult ADD. I'm in the minority with a lot of successes where others had failures, I guess. And I spent many years in the military, which, though difficult for both my personality type and my ADD brain, actually provided so much structure, routine, and a built-in family, it helped me as a person far more than it ever hurt me. So, all that is okay.
Personal life, relationships...yuk...whole other story. But I still just look forward now, as much as I can. And probably make up for lack of regrets with loads of anxiety about tomorrow....but that's improving, too.
Just look at all we've done while in the dark about depression and ADD and Lord knows what else...raising awesome children comes to mind :-)
