I was wondering if there are levels of severity of ADD/ADHD. I am
reading some of these posts and most of them sound exactly like my
every day, and I havent gone to the doc to be diagnosed or anything.
At times I can concentrate for hours on one thing like art, or
building my website and read even with the tv on for noise. But many
other things like things that involve moving, ie cleaning, organizing
etc are a struggle. Say I set out to clean the kitchen, I fill the
sink, organize the dishes, place some in, think of something like
take out the trash, without thinking, I leave the dishes to take ou
the trash. Take the trash to at least the front door before the dust
on the cherry server attracts my attention, I try to clean it and get
to litterally scrubbing finger prints, and crud from kids on it off,
see more handprints and such on the walls, and work my way down the
hall way cleaning the walls and lightswitches on and on. Eventually
I get back to the sink and realize half the dayis done, and the
dishes arent and the water is cold. I can work myself to the bone
cleaning, and still the house looks like there was nothing done. The
thing I am the worst at is laundry. The best time I am able to get
it done is when it is late at night, the kids are in bed, and I am
watching tv on my bed. Maybe Im just crazy? lol!
