I realized something very interesting about myself for the first time tonight. I have ADD. I've joked about this in the past and my wife has accused me of ADD because of channel surfing, etc., but I finally made all the connections tonight--because of cold meds.
I've noticed during the last 3 cold and flu seasons, that while I'm on cold meds, I become a totally different person. I can focus on single activities and get tons of work done. So I've decided to look into this to see if maybe I need some brain controlling substances, because I think self-medicating with cold meds might lead to some problems.
I decided to take some surveys online, but I got sidetracked and interested in other things so I forgot about it. Just kidding.. Here are the results of one quiz:
You appear to be suffering from a moderate amount of attention and concentration difficulties according to your responses to this self-report questionnaire. You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, if would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional soon to rule out a possible attention disorder.
So, what to do next? Anybody out there have success or horror stories dealing with their Adult ADD?
Yes. But you do not strike me as ADD at all. If anything you are far too focused and should see a professional about that.
