Paralyzed by my Clutter

Yeah, I work from home too, I'm a lawyer. Business is pretty slow recently, so it's hard to get myself motivated to do marketing, etc. and things get to be cluttered here. Really-spend some time dec…

Paralyzed by my Clutter

lol I saw your subject and had to come see your post. I have felt the same way recently! I have a lot of "visual clutter" today - the kitchen, bedroom, and office are a mess! (Did I mention I should…

Hi all,I'm frustrated with my work and need to vent a bit.  I'm trying to do something that I haven't done for several years; it requires several different forms that all need to be filed *right* all…

Anyone heard of dyscalculia? I'm wondering if it's common in people with ADHD

There is some comorbidity (both conditions occurring) between learning disabilities (such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc.) and ADD/ADHD. I don't think I have dyscalculia per se, but I do have some pro…

Jo Ellen, Thank you for your response! You're very kind! My complications were nothing tragic- thankfully! My husband is generally pretty patient but he spent a long time dealing with constant 'piles' of papers I totally planned on getting to ended…

Angie: I hope I didn't come across as your method of organizing & time management isn't valid. I may have worded it wrong. Your method of sticking to a routine is workable and logical in all sense of the word. I know because when I am feeling well…

Jo Ellen, There is that...my approach works some of the time for me. The rest of the time, I rely on my calendar and panic mode to push through assignments that are due. It is truly frustrating to say the least. I am noticing that when this cycle h…

This is where I get tripped up. Taking the time to step back from the project, it may not be a day or 3 before I get back to the project. Anyone who has fibromyalgia & ADD, I may have a couple of days where I can barely get out of bed because of the…

Hi Sarah, I sympathize with your dilemma! My best approach is to think about what it is you have to do the night or the morning before you actually do it. Think about what parts give you the most trouble and try to see past it in an abstract way- W…

Marie, like you, it helps me now that I realize that my problem is not some lousy innate dumbness, but ADD, I am less self-loathing and learning how to accept myself as is -- and believe that I can learn to get some victory. I got about 10 books on…

Marie replied to ADDSarah's discussion 'Stalled by ADHD anxiety ...'
Something I realized quite a while back that helps me,,is realizing that the procrastination...paralyzing fears...all that 'angst' that seems to dominate my brain...IS the A.D.H.D. or A.D.D....or just how I'm wired:) Once I really grabbed onto that.…

Hey Cleo, both of your suggestions resonate. I'll give the sit-there-for-20-minutes approach a go tomorrow morning with bills and appointment making... The "just start it" plan works for me in relation to exercise: I don't feel like going out for a…

Cleo replied to ADDSarah's discussion 'Stalled by ADHD anxiety ...'
Yes, I sure am familiar with that. I've procrastinated for years on things I needed to do anyway, but now with lots of extra stress and consequence. I'm a champion, I am.....not. But I have learned a few tricks that have helped reduce the delay. One…

Yes, Sarah, I hear you too well. I think part of the paralysis thing is that we so often do things not so well that with each new undertaking, the first thought often is, "I SO do not want to make a mistake... or be late... or this this and this..."…

i am all too familiar with this kind of paralyzation. It happens when I conduct too many transactions and I don't want to look at my bank account. It happens when I have to tell someone something I don't want to. It happens whenever I have something…

There is some comorbidity (both conditions occurring) between learning disabilities (such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc.) and ADD/ADHD. I don't think I have dyscalculia per se, but I do have some problems with left/right, and with counting - for exa…
