Another example, I was asked to teach the kids at boy scouts the Cherokee langauge. So I get excited because I get to teach these kids about my culture well the day comes and I am not prepared found out last minute my printer is out of ink so I can't print pages for them. And while I am talking to them my attention is constantly torn away from them to talking to another parent  It was embarrasing. I constantly lose things only to find them in an open spot right where I left it and while the object is there in that wide open spot, I am looking through drawers, jewelry boxes, etc. It's nerve racking that during a conversation with someone my I don't remeber a thing they said because if a fly lands on the wall beside them, it takes my attention away from the person and onto what the fly is doing. I want to talk to my doctor about it but I don't know how they would diagnose add/adhd and I don't want to tell them my symptoms and they just say "oh yep it's add alright take this pill" which is usually what my doctor does.

Yes thats adhd and I had to get to help for it cause it was ruin my life where i could not stand to be in school cause it was boring and could not focus or study and if people was talking too me i could not focus on what they was talking about.Iam on a low dose of ritlin 20mg and its works and now Iam able to focus and stop loosing things.
