Hey everyone,
I made a list of all of the things I think may be my ADD. Does it sound like they are?
* writes partial or combined letters
* switches order of letters
* super amounts of energy=intensity
* inattention to anything other than what I'm focusing on
* high distractibility at other times.
* cannot pick up after myself
* cannot pay attention to TV for more than 20 min. without having something else to do.
* do not notice exhaustion
* Intense bursts of energy
* blanking out and zoning out
* inability to find words
* having a thought and losing it
* maintaining 5 thoughts simultaneously, inability to form one coherent one.
* inability to turn mind off to sleep
* can't walk straight, end up walking into people/inanimate objects
* forget EVERYTHING
* scattered mind
* completely klutzy, no sense for where I am or where I'm putting things. Pay no attention
* always called a "space cadet"
* "your blond roots are showing"
* "You're the most [censored] annoying person I've ever known"
* Slow, not functioning mind switches to overactive, hyped up=acting like a clown
* lots of daydreaming.
* read a page 3 times before I internalize it
* forget character's names in movies.I can watch an entire movie and at the end realize I have no idea what the character's names are.
* Ridiculously over achieving--fantastic was never "good enough"
* can't calm down without coffee
* completely spazzing out.
* check out of reality at other times. Brain completely shuts off.
* Cannot sit still. Must be moving, even when I am sleeping.
* Think most of the night, even if I am asleep.
