organization | ADHD Information

My son wanted me to post this poll.  So help him out, all you ADDers - he really wants to know!!!The top three are a really good fit for me! Top three and last one.  How do you expect to find anything if you don't step on it every now and then.
The house looks like a hurricane BUT.............. I know where everything is, Uhm apart from my keys or the kids shoes right before we need to walk to school.House, yard, car, and garage were all hit by a hurricane, 3 tornadoes, an 8.3 earthquake, and covered by an avalanche of dirty clothes, and a rock slide of dirty dishes. a better summary is it looks like a war zone, with nothing burned. Oh, and there's green stuff growing in the pool, and the mosquito abatement district has us on their weekly schedule...

stuff needs to be out in front of me or i'll forget i even have it. then buy a new one at the store and come home and hide it somewhere, then forget i have one and buy another at the store and the story continues. everything is in my sight and easily accessible and it makes me feel comfortable. organization is great, but i can fit the shoes of clutter a little better.

     My house was struck by level three chaotic behavior, a little disorder multiplied by itself time amd time again. do the math Y=try^organization[QUOTE=Shanna]My house would be a mess if my husband was not OCD! I can never find anything ever. When I lived alone my house was always a mess but I knew where everything was![/QUOTE]

I agree totally with this statement.

 My spouse keeps putting things in HER place of order, and it is light years cleaner, but not better for me.
That's why I hate surveys - I ask "can I get 3 on question one - 2 on two and don't ask on 3?" Where is the option for "my house looks like a Force 5 Torynado struck at dawn (five years ago)"?

yea i know. and then sometimes i look for the space underneath an answer to write down "but only's".

example: i wnated to select "I am a clean freak with everything in its place"

but only:  for about 3 hours on a sunday while under the influence of medication"

A hurricane might actually help my poor apartment!  I'm constantly losing things, tearing through my storage.. forgetting to clean then the mad dash to do it all one day.  It's a madhouse!

This pic of a dining room I've never dined in might help to set an example of ADHD at its worst.  I've tried to insert the pics - no luck and no idea why.

Oh, check out my album - there's a pic of a cat that might be just right for me - ladies let me know what you think!?!

where is the option for "i am most of these"?My house would be a mess if my husband was not OCD! I can never find anything ever. When I lived alone my house was always a mess but I knew where everything was!

my house is a disaster area.

if i know where anything is, it's because of all the time i spend looking for the things that aren't where i thought they were!

Dr.Q: my wife says same thing for her. Our home is like the first 3. Im sorry, but I've taken criticism for this all my life, and the fact is that my clutter MAKES SENSE TO ME. When I try to organize to please others, it just doesn't work for me. I need it to be the way I need it. Call it a mess if you want, to me it represents order.
