So after reading a book about ADD I wrote up a lot of the things that applied to me. Does this actually sound like ADD, and can anyone relate?
* writes partial or combined letters * switches order of letters * super amounts of energy=intensity * inattention to anything other than what I'm focusing on * high distractibility at other times. * cannot pick up after myself * cannot pay attention to TV for more than 20 min. without having something else to do. * do not notice exhaustion * Intense bursts of energy * blanking out and zoning out * inability to find words * having a thought and losing it * maintaining 5 thoughts simultaneously, inability to form one coherent one. * inability to turn mind off to sleep * can't walk straight, end up walking into people/inanimate objects * forget EVERYTHING * scattered mind * completely klutzy, no sense for where I am or where I'm putting things. Pay no attention * always called a "space cadet" * "your blond roots are showing" * "You're the most ****ing annoying person I've ever known" * Slow, not functioning mind switches to overactive, hyped up=acting like a clown * lots of daydreaming. * read a page 3 times before I internalize it * forget character's names in movies.I can watch an entire movie and at the end realize I have no idea what the character's names are. * Ridiculously over achieving--fantastic was never "good enough" * can't calm down without coffee * completely spazzing out. * check out of reality at other times. Brain completely shuts off. * Cannot sit still. Must be moving, even when I am sleeping. * Think most of the night, even if I am asleep. |

Hi and welcome to Psych Central!
![]() I know some of them could be caused by other things. I have trouble concentrating, and docs think it's due to some meds I take for other diagnoses, for example. (I am not ADD.) |
