> can you please explain to me what it is like for you when you have to do things and concentrate? it feels like there is a glitch in my brain and need to know for my own sanity that WHAT i experience is normal?? Everything, even the smallest task is overwhellming if it requires more than basic concentration....so I would really appreciate hearing about others' experiences
>Hi Rainbow,
Well, it's probably that you've got your mind on the wedding and all, and now Phillipa is pushing for kids already!
But seriously. I'm like this too. If there's a task, and it requires any effort mental effor t esp. I get overwhelmed and paralysed. In my brain it's like a train wreck, or an incredibly messy closet - that if I open the door all the stuff will come crashing out. I just can't organize my thoughts. I also get sidetracked by a lot of stuff. The Adderall helps a lot, esp. with reading and prioritizing. I know I post this all the time, and probably sound like I'm beating a dead horse (what DOES that sound like anyway?!) But, you might want to check out www.addforums.com
Best to you and Ed!
