[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you may have ADD or executive function problems. I would seek a diagnosis only because it will help to understand yourself better and may lead to the possibility of taking medications which could help you. As a result of my daughter's diagnosis, my husband got a diagnosis because he could see himself in her and has dealt with many of the same issues. He did get an ADD diagnosis and tried 2 different meds to see if they would have any effect. The first did not work as well. The second is really helping him and he can tell a big difference when he does not take it. He is much more, focused, organized and has a much better ability to prioritize, which I think is honestly the biggest problem with executive function problems. I also think that you might want to seek outside help to organize and declutter your house - not so much to spend a fortune organizing but helping figure out HOW to organize. Might be a good investment in your sanity. Also, read the book " Delivered from Distraction" to give you ideas and help you see the positive side. My husband is scatterbrained and disorganized, but he is ceative and thinks outside the box and this has helped him in his work and makes him who he is. The same is true with my daughter. :)[/quote]
