[quote=Anonymous]Yup this describes me. I'm quite successful and have a happy home life. I had to teach myself strategies to manage it as I didn't want meds and deal with the hassle of providing info for drug tests for work. I use a lot of lists and timers. Today, for instance, I have A LOT to get done around the house. If I let my brain go, I would feel overwhelmed and end up pushing off the tasks for hours. So I set goals in order to get a break and set a timer for this breaks. Is it perfect? No, but when the alarm goes off a second time I can force myself up to do the next task. I'm nearly done with everything I wanted to get done today. I also had to work on retraining my brain. I was always leaving things around to "get to later". So now it's taking a second to tell myself "you're going into the kitchen, bring your glass with you now, don't leave til later". The repetition of it makes it become more second nature after awhile.
