Topic | My therapist thinks I may have ADD |

Best comparison I can draw is a really good cup of tea or coffee vs a red bull.I feel like I can sometimes do many things effectively, but mostly if there is too much going on then I tend to shut down completely. It has only ever really gotten serious at work once. I had various client files on my desk, phone calls to make, notes to do, and co-workers to get back to about things they had asked me. I found myself starting one thing then changing my mind and doing another, then switching again and again and realizing that I was doing a lot but in reality getting nowhere. I became an emotional wreck at the time and had to call my boss to calm myself down. It was kind of embarrassing as I'm not used to losing control like that (or at least showing it). One thing I've realized that has been helpful to me as far as schoolwork goes is getting out of my environment. I had made it a habit to go to a pretty quiet Starbucks across the street whenever I had a lot of studying or work to do. As long as I had my earphones I found it was much easier to work on things in a place where my whole point of being there was to do work. I wasn't as easily distracted by things. I can't do that anymore because of the pandemic. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
