can only concentrate on exercise, | ADHD Information

I can exercise, clean for hours. If I promise to do something for somebody other than myself I'll go out of my way to do it.  I can't concentrate on a book, I study many things at a time, never finish anything, surf TV for hours, pace, overeat. Everything interests me but am not able to become good at anything except things that require mindless repetition. I taught myself to type fast. I don't know what I want to do in life.

Hi Kwiat. Pleeeaaase... tell me how you can exersise and clean for hours! I'm lucky if my bathroom gets cleaned once every 2 months, and even luckier if I get about 45 minutes of exersise a month.

I am interested in many things too, but the few things that I am actually GOOD at (like ceramic painting and cross-stitch), I can't make a living from. I don't know what to do in life either.  I am currently working a job that I loathe. You are not alone.

If I ever get the urge to do some exercise I'll go and lay down until the urge goes away.

kwiat,

Hi.  Are you on medication for your ADD?  The adderal brought out overfocus, compulsive type of activity in me.  Repetitive, mindless exercise can be considered compulsive.  A change in medication would help.  I would talk to your doctor.   Good luck and welcome to the forum.
