Indecision is my middle name!

Well, till I think of a better one. 🙂

But truly this has been a lifelong problem for me. I examine everything at every angle and when I’m done I’m more stuck than when I started. I used to spend hours at the grocery store, going up and down every aisle, pondering every potential purchase down to the last pea. I won’t even go into how agonizing the Actual Decisions (school, career, relationships) have been over the years.

Did I mention I’m Inattentive Type, and not Hyperactive? 🙂

Funny thing is that with the ADD diagnosis and meds I’ve noticed myself becoming more decisive, but it still sometimes feels overly impulsive to me. Which is weird – like I almost feel more ADD than before, because I’m making purchases without so much research and far less self-justification. And I’m not sure how well it’s working – Time will tell if I actually use that sewing machine, I guess. It arrived more than a week ago and it’s still in the box….But I’m definitely feeling like I’m in an adjustment period when it comes to decision-making these days.

Which is another way of saying I can’t decide how I feel about it, I guess. AAARRGG!
