I think I have adult ADD

[MummaSue]

Hehehe, yeah, I do have that Lulu. VERY high anxiety. All the time. *sigh*

I can help you with that, just not right now xoxoxo

So, where do you find the boxes to tick?

I think I'm just a scatterbrain :/

I've got anxiety issues too, so I know how that feels. The counselling I had during my pregnancy (cognitive behaviour therapy) helped enormously, I still use the techniques every day.

As for the ADD, a friend of mine was diagnosed in high school and struggled through uni. She would often start projects and not finish them, and she used a lot of techniques that helped her personally. She had "backwards" ways of finishing assignments but they worked for her.

I work in mental health and one of the psychiatrists I worked closely with had a chat with me about it one day. He agreed that from what I told him and from what he had observed in my day to day work, I more than likely had characteristics of it - along with my anxiety.
It seems to feel worse to me since having DD but that is probably a mixture of being a bit sleep deprived and my anxiety about being a mum etc.

I struggle to finish projects, bore easily and flit from idea to idea, amongst other things.

Check one box for me.

Actually I did a bit of (internet hehe) research... I tick most of the boxes, although I'm not hyperactive and I do generally have good attention to detail. Pretty much everything else fits. Not that it really matters I guess, I don't need a dx to tell me that I need to do something to get my shizz together but I suppose it would be nice to understand it better. Gah.

*insert nice redface smiley* Sorry, didn't mean to crash your thread Mummasue but I would love to hear those ideas on how to manage it as well....
