What is up today? | ADHD Information

What is up with me today?  I need someone to talk to....I said in an earlier post that I was unmotivated, but alert today.  Well, the work day is almost over for me and I have done little of nothing today.  What is the deal today?  Usually I am focused and get lots of things done, but not today.  Just last week I never sat down at work it seemed like and today I can't leave this computer.  I did not eat breakfast and had very little lunch...that seems to have alot to do with it.  Are some days just better than others?  This is the first time I have experienced this unmotivated mood with Adderall...

Another thing, is anyone on a special diet?  Do certian foods help with ADD?  I have been reading alot about it and I have come across the word "diet" alot...or another word "eating habits". 

Also, anyone else have Combined Type ADD?  That's what I have...that is a combonation b/t hyper and not, right? 

 

oh and yes..

 i actually am sitting at home with my lap top typing away crazily b/c i can be a post monster..in my shorts and tshirt

i should SHOULD be getting ready to go register for school. LOLLLLLL

and cleaning my car

and getting my allergy shots.

and checking my work emails.

oh well.

hey upward.

i'm a combo.

i fidget and i squirm but i'm really intense mentally

i space out and thats where my problem kicks in usually but i don't run around and need to move constantly.

i just fidget a lot typically. i guess i'm reactive and impatient. but most ppl just view me as a normal person and are suprised if they find out i have adhd. i think mostly its b/c they have a stereotype in their head about a hyper scrawny boy

i'm a grown woman , a responsible one that holds a job and has a family. so i don't look like a typical adhd. plus i'm a nerd. so ppl i guess assume that adhd'ers don't read or something?lol

i've probably read more books than the ppl i work with.

but i can't sit through a baseball game without getting edgy b/c its so boring.

sumi

Have you found out the with ADD, even if things aren't particularly boring to you, you still loose intrest after a while?  Or is that just me? 

We are alot alike:  I have had the same job for 8 yrs now (although I have wanted to quite many many many times).  I also have a family...3 girls, 2 step children and 1 biological.  Have a BS in Business although it took me 8 yrs to get it.  Do you ever feel like you are the one who HAS to learn things the hard way?  I do, I could have gotten my degree before my baby, but NO not me...once something gets hard to me and am out like a rocket....school, marriage, work .....anything!  I may not act on it in every aspect, but I think gotta go!!

I am the most reactive and impulsive, impatient person on this planet.....one scary but true example...when my hubby and I met, I was totally anti-marraige, but I loved him dearly....I was back and forth with the marriage thing...he thought we would date forever and was begining to become comefortable with that idea when one day I called him from work said we are getting married on this date in Gatlinberg, TN at this time and we are staying in this resort for 1 week...one of those all inclusive deals where all you have to bring is the dress and tux and they provide the rest, including the resort stay!  He was thrilled....I had already thalked to the kids and other family , so they knew what was going on......and the rest is history!  Nearly 2 yrs later we are still together! 

Now that's impulsive!!!  I think that is the most impulsive thing I have ever done.
