I am wondering if my "zoning out" and inability to focus at work is ADD/ADHD?? I am constantly zoned out at work and before I know it a whole day has gone by and I haven't gotten anything accomplished...I feel like there is constant chatter in my head(self dialouges, songs, thoughts and ideas to do lists etc), which I at first attributed to anxiety and depression...I don't recall having any issues relating to ADD/ADHD when I was younger. In fact, all of my teachers stated in progress reports, that although I was was a pleasure to have in class and got along well with my classmates, I was extremely timid and shy and quiet. I did well in school earning B averages in High School and College. I recently started to lose things more and forget things (I tend to and I find that I am "zoning out" driving on the hwy and talking to people). Is it possible to have ADD/ADHD present itself in adulthood rather than childhood? What is driving me crazy is the constant static or chatter.I wake up thinking and I go to bed thinking and fall asleep thinking. I am scared I am getting ready to go crazy. I know its bad, but I have resorted to drinking to slow it down or stop it. It's driving me crazy....or maybe this is something else all together...I think this something I need to bring up with my therapiston tuesday...Does anyone else have this problem of constant chatter and static? does it drive you crazy? Is it possible for me to have been a quiet calm child but still have ADD that went undiagnosed because I was quiet and calm?
