Wasn't sure if I should post is here, but it is health related.
I'm going to see a new primary tomorrow and I have a lot of questions about adult ADD. I have struggled with my inability to remain focused for as long as I can remember. How I graduated from high school is a miracle. I got through trade school because I was interested in the subject matter, but I can't imagine making it through a 4 year degree. I have job hopped liked crazy throughout my adult life. It's exhausting
I've definitely settled down career wise which is nice...but I still have a lot of issues with focus and I'm over it. Finishing a simple task becomes a huge project, I can't seem to keep up. I don't feel depressed and I've altered my diet which has given me more energy but its not helping with my distractibility.
Does anyone have experience with this? I feel so awkward bringing it up with the doctor. I don't know where to start or what to say.
I have similar issues with focus. Some days I'm not even sure how I get through the day. When I asked my doctor about it he said it sounded likely that I have ADD, because of my symptoms and family history. But I was not interested in medication so there was really no point in going through the process to get an official diagnosis. I found a website for adults with ADD and learned a lot of good pointers on how to deal with it. I have become the queen of checklists. I've gotten much better at work, but still struggle a lot at home.
Re: Adult ADD
It's funny that you mention that, I'm also being tested for celiacs! I have cut it from my diet and am hoping for a change.
