Hi,
I was just wondering if others out there with ADD end up starting so many personal projects that seem to never becoming completed?
I have Adult ADD as on of my Diagnosis and seems I am alway starting new projects. I will make check lists on the computer, and charts, graphs, lists, letters to the editor of the newspaper to say the least.
Just today, for instance 2 hours ago I put in the Microwave a TV dinner.
Now just a few minutes ago I remembered it was in there and reheated.
Aside from my 'projects' is house work. When I first started on Adderal XR 10mg then 20mg I was doing alot better. Now with unfinished projects galore, and my inabiliy to watch Telivision for now over a month, my caseworker seems to feel maybe an increase in my medication is needed.
Oh, housework, got off topic, seems I am cleaning the entire house at one time. I realize this as I go from room to room, and in each room seems there is some kind of cleaning product that became abandoned as I entered another room.
So when I clean I try to take everything from each room to where it is supposed to go, and half the time I find something in one room and then end up sitting down and that is the end of housework. Because I am now looking at a magazine or book or something.
Also I am a pak rat
and especially printed materials. Hate to throw stuff away. So I am one of those people who have all sizes of platic baskets, bins, file folders, file boxes, and on and on and seems the things from each as I try to go through a bin or box just get tossed into antother bin or box and circulate aroud.
Just like the housework thing just seem to circulate around the 4 rooms of my apartment.
So I am beginng to think an increase in the Adderal would be a good thing.
Well just wanted to see if anyone has similar things.
BTW/ anyone ever have to push the button on the cordless phone in order to find it? ha!
I do it every day it seems- Thank God for that feature
Chris
