Go to where there is no stress for a year? Where is this place? I wanna go!

Same here. Do you find that like dark_heart you have some days better or worse than others with this?
In terms of fixing it, I don't know, but I use some ADD compensatory things, such as always putting certain key things in the same place. It doesn't really help with the spacing so much as reducing the associated stress. And helps with time management (don't waste time and flipping out trying to find keys etc ) which is good because I have no sense of time and feel incredibly stupid for having no idea whatsoever what happened when.I.did.it.myself(!!!)
Have you tried reducing multi-tasking? I tend not to think of it only as the obvious way people think of that term, but as small tasks with more than one component. For instance. Just today, I had money orders that went with 3 different bills. I'd separated the "send this part" sections from the rest of the bills... and there were the money orders... and everything was light blue and... I started kind of freaking, because I was
so confused! Is this with the right one? Did I fill it out right? Am I sure? Did I put account # on? Sure? Which envelope does it belong with? O.M.G.! I had to leave the P.O. and go where I could really set them out separately and take it one step at a time. Thing is, I'm not stupid. At all. But when that kind of stuff is happening, I sure
feel stupid(!) (Heheh. Though... I realized later that I'd detached and sent the wrong section of one -- no wonder the address didn't fit right in the window! Lol. So I'd stapled it.
Somebody's going to get a laugh...
)
When you say you can't remember what you're doing
while you're doing it? Oh yeah. That one drives me up a wall the very most.
