thank you so much bi girl and hamster. medication could be an option. i have never been on meds for add. doc has always said he did not want to start an add med until my other meds were figured out and my moods have stabilized. i have been on my current regime for over a year now, so i feel good about possibly trying adderall for maybe a month to see what happens. i just get so nervous messing with my meds when things are going well for the most part.

but i have ZERO attention span, can only dream of doing repetitive tasks, easily distracted and i get bored very easy, and my memory is the worst ever.

there is quite a difference between adhd and adhd-inattentive. i unfortunately have the latter. i would love to feel a little hyperactive! i do not think i have ever had that feeling in my life.

as far as skillset. i definitely have the skillset...for both cleaning and organizing. i know how to do it all, without question. and do it well. it absolutely comes down to motivation for me. i just don't WANT to do it. and i already know i will shift from task to task without getting much accomplished at all. it will become worse than before i started...then i will get discouraged and just stop because i feel overwhelmed. so then at that point i am now living amongst even more clutter.

i am not sure what happened. i used to be sooo good at cleaning and organizing. i suppose the add has just gotten worse as i have gotten older? hmm....

i will see my doc in about a months time, so i will let you know if i decide to try adderall etc.

hamster, can you come to georgia and help me organize?
