So I don't have ADD, never was diagnosed with it but I do have a "symptom" or whatever you want to call it and figured I would get the opinions of those on here with ADD (well hope to). My boyfriend was dx'd ADHD when he was in elementary school. He's on medication now but I think all it really does is turn his ADHD into ADD. He's got the perfect amount of energy, not too much not too little but his ADD is constant and obvious. He jokes that I have ADD but I don't believe so.
I've explained to him why, if I'm reading a book or watching Tv or doing the dishes... Anything at all... When I'm thinking about it, (It's kind of like when people get tunnel vision) I have "tunnel thinking" (how I refer to it). He than laughs and says I'm ADD. I don't know if it's common for ADD but he says it is for him. So basically I'm just wondering if anyone experiences it, are there "tools" or ways to kind of get better at not doing that? It makes having a 3 year old sometimes a little difficult. I'll be cliping my fingernails while she's running around the living room and the next thing I know she's painting the TV and is already 1/2 way done. Don't know if this fits ADD or not but I figured I would give it a shot since my bf says it happens to him all the time and he's ADD __________________ I'd lock my hands behind my head, I'd cover my heart and hit the deck, I'd brace myself for the impact if I were you. |
