I’ve always suspected I have ADHD, but I’ve never bothered pursuing it because I can’t even get a doctors appointment for my bad hips!
I’ve always struggled, I just don’t fit in at all and you can tell people think I’m strange. People look at me sometimes like I’ve got 3 heads and no one ever wants to be friends with me!
I can’t focus, unless it’s on something I’m really interested in. I’m fascinated with medical conditions, maps & old photos and I spend ages looking at/researching these things! I’ve always had a quick temper and I get frustrated quickly because I can’t complete simple tasks! I can’t sit and watch films, although I can focus on certain tv shows & documentaries.
I jump from one thing to another, one minute I’m doing a jigsaw, next I want to start a new Lego set and then I want to start baking. I give myself whiplash. Making decisions is almost impossible and I get frustrated when other people won’t decide for me as I don’t know what I want.
Yet if I do want something, i become fixated. I wanted to book a holiday and I spent hours researching it and I became angry when I couldn’t find what I wanted. If I want something, I want it NOW right now!
I’m actually quite shy, but with people I’m comfortable with I can get speaking at such speeds and I’ll change the conversation throughout and give people whiplash. Yet if someone else is talking and I don’t find it interesting (which is usually all the time) then I just zone out. I won’t even hear you say my name! I have fairly limited social skills. Although I’m very in tune to others feelings and I’m tactful and sensitive towards others.
I honestly feel like a failure. I feel like I’m in a dead end job and I can’t do anything better because I haven’t got the confidence. I just don’t know what to do with myself half the time. I feel sorry for my husband as he does a lot of the household chores and he manages all the bills because I just forget…
I don’t know why I’m even writing all this. I think I just wanted to find people that feel the same.
