Hi,
A few times (just now, and in the past), my pdoc has mentioned that I have symptoms of ADD. I want to look it up, but can't sit still long enough to do it, aside from this site. I can't remember what I scored on the last Sanity Test in terms of ADD. But I mentioned to my pdoc that I am annoying to others (I am told) and that I often interrupt and finish people's sentences (and am often wrong  ) for them. It's crazy. At least I am trying to catch myself when I do it now, but I just can't stop it. And my brain is ablur. I jump around like crazy. Usually people just don't seem to get it. When I tell them that I run around like a mad woman, I really mean it!Does this sound like ADD, or something else? I'm just curious... MrsLovett |

It sounds like it might be but is this the way that you have always been or is it a change?
You will need to see a therapist or psychiatrist for a diagnosis but this is a good place to learn about the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. I didn't realize that I had ADD until my son was diagnosed with it in kindergarden and I started reading about it and realized I had many of the symptoms.

Hi Mrs.Lovett,
This is goodnews. My therapist just handed me a copy of the firt chapter in the book "Delivered from Distraction ." same author as Driven to Distraction . 19 pages called the skinny on add: read this if you can't read the whole book. I rarely read a whole book . I crack it open and read and move around and do not finish. I alway felt bad about it. but thats typical for ADHD. try reading for ten miuntes at a time . set an alarm to go off to bring you back to what your suppose to be reading. there was somthimg else I was gonna share ,but it slipped my mind.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
