@Larynxa Hmm, the link goes to a “page not found”, but I’ll look into finding such a resource…you know, I could say “after I type this reply”, but I can’t make any promises I’ll remember or not find something else that “must be done now”. Sigh… Yeah, it seems I find new ways every week that my so-called “normal” life is actually an ADD life. Now that I’m homed in on “what’s wrong” I now find myself often saying, “You know what! That’s a ‘me’ thing and it’s common among folks with ADD!” It’s one thing to recognize and notice that it’s happening and it’s an ADD thing, but it’s another to actually have the ability to make things work the right way in the right time. Rationally you KNOW what needs to be done…but the message that is apparent in one half of the brain gets put on some indefinite “hold” by the other half of the brain until both halves simply forget.
Coaching tailored to ADD would help me. I haven’t looked into meds yet because first I’d need a coach / therapist, and I’d have to get their opinion and knowledge of what med might hook up well with how it affects me…assuming the way it affects me has one compatible. I take enough between Metoprolol and all my OTC supplements for other stuff…I’m really not looking to add another pill. But if I try it and it works…. Well, what’s the worse? If I’m given one and it doesn’t work…?? (Which reminds me, I meant to ask yesterday about taking Rx meds over the border…darn! If you have an Rx, border patrol is okay with that, no?) Anyway, it would help if ADD meds out here are on the “$4 Walmart List”.
I’m having luck today with the “patience” thing. It’s Saturday…I got other things grabbing my attention (like drawing a picture instead of doing laundry…wunderbar…) The mental effort towards searching for a coach / new therapist is “off” right now, but once it turns itself on and becomes THE thing I’m doing, I just hope I don’t make too quick of decisions or jump at the first thing without patience to consider other options.
