Welcome brad,
Boy do I know the feeling. You see here I sit when I was just going to just read my email. But I'm glad I got distracted. Even when we are receiving treatment( me - Vyvanse) we can get off track. But usually it's a question of priorities. It's how we rank the list of things we have to do in our minds. I think my experience with my children and my own history with ADD and ADHD that I may offer here is important because I remember the utter frustration and depression I felt when I didn't know what I was dealing with and didn't have anyone to discuss it with. Now if my children were facing a problem "that" would be front and center in my mind, everything else & everyone else would take a back seat. I can move mountains when it comes to my children, meds or no meds.
Laziness has nothing to do with what you are facing, if you can take care of your client you will have such a feeling of relief then you might look into an evaluation to see if you might be dealing with ADD. Come back and let us know how your doing.
Wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Hello, I'm Brad.
So, I've got a ton of things to do. I need to sit down and pay my bills; I need to update my web site; Most importantly, I have a project that is already four months late and she is calling every day to see when it will be done. I only have 4 more hours of work to do on it, but I always tell her to give me another week.
So I'm totally stressed out about all of these important things that need to get done. I force myself to go out into my home office and get some work done. What should I do first....? 10 minutes later you'll find me outside trimming the trees.
As I'm organizing the tree branches, i'm cursing myself. Why can't I just go in there and get it done? Maybe Dad was right, maybe I am lazy. But, how many lazy people do you see trimming trees.
All of these thoughts just makes me sad. What's wrong with me.....?
So it's not just me? I feel like an alien creature who has finally found his way back to his own kind. It's good to be home, even though it's my first time here.
