Any advice | ADHD Information

I have been diagnosed with ADD.  I am not hyper but don't listen or concentrate.  My parents are elderly and I am going to have to put both in a nursing home.  My father has severe parkinsons and my mother has terminal cancer.  I have learned all I can but I am having to write all my conversations down.  I don't listen well to my boss and several time he has asked where I am on a project and don't remember him even discussing it with me.  I seem obsessed with my parents and my job (while I still have it) is suffering.  Thanks for any suggestions.Writing down the conversations is a good idea. You definately have
reasons to be overwhelmed! Can you take some family leave time from
work to get your parents all settled? Is your boss aware of your situation
with your parents?

Another option would be have your boss email you any communication
about upcoming projects with due dates--then you can always refer to
them at a later date.

Don't forget to take care of yourself, too! Good luck!Talk to your boss for permission..... for legal reasons...

Record long conversations, pocket recorder...... that helps too.


Sounds like you are under a lot of stressors and I know what it is like to have parents that are ill.  I wonder if that is why you are having more difficulty remembering because you are concerned over family issues.  Can you take a family medical leave financially?  What also helped me get through was counseling, i went to greif counseling for 4 months after I lost both parents.  My mom I was only 28.  Talk to your boss about your family if he/she has any heart they should be more understanding.You have all of us here for you as well.  I meant to put the hug emotion on here.
