So I'm undiagnosed as having adhd, but feel its almost nailed on that this is the reason my head, and in turn life, is so scattered. I did the test on here, both full and short versions, and scored very highly on both.
For as long as I can remember, I've had problems socialising, preferring to work alone. When I was a kid, every school report was the same, very bright, but doesn't apply himself as much as he could. Very rarely did I manage to remember homework, coursework etc. I can't concentrate, I forget appointments (i had an appt for the docs to set the ball rolling on getting diagnosed, but forgot to go!). I have serious issues with timekeeping, with organising anything. I start things, but rarely finish, usually because I'm drawn to starting something else. I constantly say things without thinking, causing arguments which make me feel like crap having regretted what I said almost instantly afterwards. My mind is always on the go, thoughts get scrambled. I start speaking and before I finish the sentence, either get distracted or forget what I was saying!

All of this is leaving life between myself and my partner very strained. She's frustrated and angry that I keep forgetting to do things, I'm frustrated and angry that I forgot I can't blame her, I'm as fed up with myself as she is.
If there's anything serious I want to say to her, I've taken to writing/texting it and have her read it rather than try and say it and end up in a muddle. I get the feeling there's only so much more she's willing to put up with me before she leaves me.

I've read that unless you're a child climbing the walls, its very hard to get diagnosed with ADD, so I don't really know which way to turn.
