Here’s more of the “You know you have ADHD when..” series. From the Greater Rochester Attention Deficit Disorder Association (link dead) via Megan Dlugokinski
Here’s a few of them. You know you have ADD when:
you go to your first ADD Support Group meeting and you get whiplash from nodding your head up and down in the first 10 minutes
you have lost your cars keys more than once in the last 10 minutes.
you don’t have to buy and write out Christmas cards this year…because you just found last year’s stamped and ready to mail…in the trunk.
you can’t remember what you got up for until you sit down again.
you spend two hours making a complicated list with flow charts and footnotes which organizes your next week, including meal planning and budget… and loose the only copy
you’re consistently 20 min late to the therapist and you’re located across the street.
you actually make a list of 20 things to get done at work, or home and at the end of the day nothing is crossed off because you did 30 things you didn’t have on you list. (Have any of you ever added those things to your list to feel better?)
