Does it sound like ADD/ADHAD?
by Sharoned, May 13, 2008 06:42AM
Hi. I've been thinking recently, and I think that I might have ADD. Or something.
Brief info about me: 24, female, married for 1 year, trying to run own online business.
After reading about ADD/ADHD, these are some of the things I do in life. I can't remember if I did them as a child, but my husband and younger sister agree on the 'externally displayed' points.
Procrastinating.
Poor memory of time.
Start things and never finish.
Don't eat even though I'm hungry - just forget or am too lazy.
Lack of concentration.
Depressive tendencies [mood swings, darkness, appetite]
Frequently arguing with myself about things.
Wanting to make people feel guilty.
Over analyzing - does he love me? why does he love me? He can't love me, I'm horrible etc.
The ability to organize [clean] but never keep it that way.
Possible hyper focus? I get really into things for a short time, especially online research [loose many hours].
Lack of childhood memories.
Drug and alcohol use.
Manipulative.
Self destructive.
Attention and praise seeking - but never believe the compliments.
Speaking without thinking, blatant.
Very talkative, dominating.
Can't cope well with stress.
Always changing my mind.
Moving from job to job.
There are more, but I can't think atm.
I just feel like something is wrong, I don't know what, but I don't want to go to the doctors. When I went for depression, the all just treated me like a 'stupid child'.
Some advice, would be nice. Do you think I might have something wrong and what should I do.
