I am a paralegal and I live in constant fear of an explosion - missing a date, not doing somethng right, etc. My desk is flooded with files and papers, I am completely overwhelmed. The odd thing is, I really know how to do my job well, when I get around to it. I work with 4 others, they are all completely organized, their desks are neat as a pin, not a paper out of order, and they are just as overwhelmed with work as I am. Everyday I start out thinking that today is the day I get everything organized, take things one at a time, make my to due lists, etc. By 5:00 you can't even find me in my cubicle, and I have to stay late every night trying to get things in order so that the attorneys don't see my desk and think "what disasters lie beneath that chaos?" I definitely think I have adult add, never talked to anyone about it, I just don't know what to do. I don't have the hyper part, because I'm exhausted all the time. When I come home at night, I just want to crawl inside my bed with the TV on. But I'm a single mom of 2 - it's a struggle to get dinner on the table. And my house - that's a whole other disaster. Help!!
