Re: ADHD and keeping on topic

[Anonymous]

I’ve been pat on the head far too many times for being “cute”.

I’ve always had problems with social interactions. I was either terrified to talk or my lid was popped and I couldn’t stop. no balance. the phone SUCKS when you can’t keep a train of thought or when you can’t get cues from the other person cuing me to shut up or that I’m not making sense. I had to record a message today for an answering machine.. more than 10 tries to get it right. didn’t count…..maybe that is normal? sadly, that is on meds…but I’m on a week insomnia spree which I’m sure killed the med. especially that I can barely keep my eyes open..

Part of it is my personality. i love being entertained by randomness. and getting excited and animated all the time.. however, really annoying when you cannot turn it off. like constantly blanking out on my thoughts..not being able to tell a story… looking like a moron and processing at the speed of sludge..having issues with just hanging out and not doing an activity.. being unable to find men who are entertaining enough not to be boring.. anything to do with work

with meds, i have been able to kind of turn it off and on. I just sort of let my brain just go…. but then I can be more logical and less tangential when I try. sometimes.. or at least have many fewer “brain deaths”.. yes. I do this so often that it has a name “brain death”.
