I have been working at the same job for eleven years. The job is not difficult but I wish to move on to other things. I work in municipal government and we are moving towards benchmarking work and having to answer for output. I have applied to other jobs that I thought I would like to do but I either fail the interview or fail in the testing portion. I kind of feel trapped. I have been writing a little bit and looking to get involved in maybe learning to do some stand up comedy but don’t know where to go. I love comedy and I often make people laugh not always intending to though. I think I survive at work because I have been doing the same thing for a long time so I pretty much know the work like the back of my hand. I still find that I move in several directions at the same time and I lose sight of space and time at work and in my own personal life. You know, I can not see a person for an entire year and feel like I just talked to them yesterday — I lose track of time. At work, I am a bit more organized but every day is a struggle. I learned about a year ago that I have ADD. I guess I must be high functioning but sure explains why everything has always come to me with great difficulty. We not only have to work to pay or bills but we need to feel like we are contributing to support ourselves in someway. Lately, I have wanted to run away from everything but in an hour or so I will google something, which will lead to something, that leads to something, then something else and then realize I don’t have any clothes for work tomorrow so I better get my backside to the washing machine. Oh what were we talking about? Oh yes, filling in a 40 hour week at work. I don’t know — I work 37 hours or that is what I tell myself at the end of day. Cheers

Veronica, thank yoiu so much for your information. I have serious organisation issues and it has also been suggested that I might benefit from a trial of Atteral. I am in a job that requires that I am able to multitask. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed with the tasks and bored with mundane. I have been in denial about dropping tasks at work. I have recently been diagnosed with ADD and your very practical advice has given my some reassurance. Thank you

I have rec’ a clinical diagnosis of ADD. It has been suggested that I start with Atteral. I googled the contraindicators — I find them extremely scary. Is there anything I can do naturally or is there a less scary drug out there.
