Last year it was going down a narrow alleyway in my van and snagging a tire on a fence and having to buy a new tire. This morning the evidence of my stupidity came in the form of hearing the smoke alarm - and having to put out a fire - because I was stupid enough to leave a candle burning last night before going to bed. Worse yet, it was not totally a forgetfulness thing. No, like the tire, it was that ignoring the nagging voice of common sense that told me not to risk it with the candle even…See More

I haven't gone on a date for a geological age. And I don't know if this is even a "date date" but my mind kept me awake till 3 a.m. with all this crap -Comorbidities - What if I have an agoraphobic panic attack if he wants to take the highway to the movie theater?What if it becomes more than a date - ambivalence about a relationshipWe are both religious but areas of possible conflict about doctrine - my parents had that, I want someone of my same religion - OTOH we are more similar than…See More

I know, I'm fortunate that I don't have to get up for a job anymore; I'm on disability. So my apologies to those who do for even complaining about this.I'm trying to deal with all the ADD & stress though and sleep issues - which fluctuate. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. I have apnea, mild, and I choose for now to treat it by not sleeping on my back (I've trained myself to sleep on my side).But I have a devil of a time awakening in the mornings, and it helps so much with my cognitive and…See More

They do me! I mean, there are so freakin many of them if you break it down, and (maybe some of this is my OCD) - but I have to do them in order, and I'm all nervous about forgetting one, forgetting something like my debit card. So I go through a process like this:Pull into gas pump. Remember to pull right where this metal post is because then the gas caps (my van has two) are in a good place - don't pull right in front of the post though or the door won't open!Kill engine, remove keys, place…See More

This is a real pain in the butt when it comes to trying to deal with a clutter problem. If I don't put that paper by, say, my purse, or the front door, so I'll see it when I go to go out and do business, I'll forget it exists. Or if it doesn't get done one day, and I for some reason can't do it the current day, I'll put it on my bed, so that when I go to bed at night, I'll see it and remember to put it back by the purse or door again! Do you see the problem here?! People say "Use a calendar."…See More

Hi,I found this site through a Google search and it looks like it could be very helpful. I will look forward to sharing with all of you.I am 50 and my ADD was diagnosed when I was about 35. I also have depression and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD. (I'm on Social Security Disability for my combo of quirks.)I possibly have some subclinical Asperger's traits (dunno for sure on that one but I have the geeky obsessions and sensory issues like picky eating and am easily overstimulated by things like…See More
