I am 52. Diagnosed with ADD about 5 years ago. There is no help for adults in the area where I live. I have tried to get tips from sites online. But I just cannot make the tips work. I live alone. I have a one bedroom apartment. It is messy. My kitchen table is always covered with papers (their all important you know). I have a table in my bedroom covered with clothes, books, a fan, pens, notes, etc. There is stuff laying on the sofa. Cant seem to get my counter cleared off.
I am so disorganized that it takes me at least three hours to get ready for work. That has got to be a record.
I walk from one room to another to get something, and then forget why I went in there. This happens a lot.
I finally reached a point where I grugingly accepted that this is the way I am. No one ever comes to see me, so I dont worry about it too much.
