Simple actions take 10 decisions | ADHD Information

Can anyone else relate?

"Shall I go out and buy a newspaper?"

-Yes, go and find out what's going on in the world

-No, you're trying to save money

-Yes, a bit of fresh air will do you some good

-No, you're trying to cut down on all the paper you use

-Yes, there's a section in today which is usually really interesting

-No, you can read it all online

-A walk to the newsagent hardly counts as exercise, go for a bike ride instead

-But its about to rain, better nip out now, & take a quick walk round the park, rather than get the bike ready and get soaked (the tyre's flat anyway)

-Yeah, but I can't really be bothered.

-OK then, I'll just make myself a cup of tea.

-But you don't drink tea

-Good point, maybe I will get a paper then.

20 minutes later....

At the newsagent:

Which paper shall I buy?

...... I think this could go on all day!

 

LOL

yeah!  I will get to the tea part (except for me its coffee), start making it.  Go start to fix the bike tire while the coffee is brewing............on the way to find a wrench in the laundry room, find that the laundry needs to go in the dryer............but there is wrinkled stuff in the dryer that has been sitting there 2 days, etc. 

Eventually I realize that I have a bike in pieces, wrinkled laundry all over the house and a now cold cup of coffee, then remember that I wanted a paper to read with that coffee, but now it's raining.  Oh well.  

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Hey, are you spying on me?   Ugh...  That is SOOO me. Especially the part about getting outside. I feel incredibly guilty for not going outside, and then not wanting to, and how foreign it seems to me, like a bad sci-fi movie. 

It's better with medication for me, definitely.

He he he,

It is all sooooo true.

I just called it "arguing with myself", and then doin' nothing.

That is so funny

 

I do the same thing all the time, I have 2 ypunge children so I normally spot clean during the week and then in saturday i clean clean clean....but nothing ever gets done, I put a loan of laundry in the wash, go empty the dishwasher, the phone rings i sit down and watch a tv show ane then the washer buzzes so i get up put it in the dryer start a new load turn around and see the dishwasher door open strat emptying it again...ect ect . My husbands hates it when i spring clean because i there will be a huge mess more than what it started out to be

But I have been told that I had ADHD as a kid but as an adult I just have depression my 5 year old is on Ritilian...  I was never on meds as a kid.
