New here. Just joined today. I have been making lists for everything for years to cope. Past relationships have said I am a weirdo for making lists of everything.

I have very strong feelings of putting things off, but will not. I also have OCD so it makes me go through the tasks. It is very unpleasant. My ADD mind is ruled by my OCD mind.

I am not on any prescribed stimulants, but find that a couple of cups of coffee has a profound relaxing effect on my mind. When a series of days pound on me with my million-mile-an-hour mind, I self-medicate with alcohol (Bad) I find that working out at the gym is very helpful in quieting my mind for a couple of hours.

I am a newly converted Catholic and have a hard time praying the Rosary due to the countless distractions. Any other Catholics out there will know what I'm talking about. I feel real guilty not focusing on Mary when I'm praying the Rosary.

My medical record is now shot due to a four-day hospital stay for myocarditis this March, so I might as well add a visit to my GP for possible treatment to ADD. I am tired of missing out on football games, movies, or dates because of this. I'm 45 now and still have not grown out of it.
