I so need help in this area. My mother was going to come for dinner on Saturday. I canceled due to my clutter. My husband told me he was disgusted with the way the house looks. He said it needed to be clean by Saturday. I made an effort to get something done, but he still wasn't happy. I thought about it and told him I needed help. Not help to clean, help to stay focused. I like the timer idea. I am like all of you. One minute I will be cleaning the kitchen, next thing I know, I am cleaning the bathroom. I am doing well on dishes and fairly okay with laundry (although putting it away is still a challenge). I have started to ask my doctor for help besides meds. I know there is so much more to beating this thing than just meds. But can it be beaten or am I going to have to learn to live with it. I was dissapointed that my doctor wasn't really able to give me ideas to deal with this. I was hoping she had more experience with ADD. I may have to consider finding someone new who can help me with dealing. I am not happy with this idea as this is the first doctor who has actually helped me. I am wondering if I can get my insurance to pay for another therapist to help me with the ADD stuff. My list of diagnosis is long. I wish I had one person to help with it all.
