I came here to post about this, but got distracted by the ADHD assessment, which probably means I'm ADHD.
I'm concerned about a young person I'm working with who is diagnosed ADHD and has a tendency to take on too many projects at once. I have heard this is a symptom of ADHD, and both of the other people I've known on ADHD have obviously done that. I am afraid that if she takes on any more stuff, she will somehow explode.
She also appears to have very low self-esteem. People comment on this, so it's not just something I myself have noticed.
Although she is working with me on my own project, I would let her go if I thought it were for her good. I have also suspected that the only reason she's working with me is because she's ADHD, and she hasn't yet realized she should drop my project. Also, it is hard for me to let her go because her work is too good. Finally, I am developing fatherly feelings toward her, which is another subject, but it does happen, and it's hard to know where to go with those.
Although these kinds of things happen in Performing Arts all the time, I am still worried about her, and I am not sure why. I hope she doesn't read this post, because I know she surfs the Internet a lot. (I don't think she knows I hang out here, though.)
