It's me, Angie. I think Epath13 opened my eyes! I've been wondering for a couple years what was wrong with me. PROCRASTINATION has been a really big problem for me and I couldn't figure out why - just to get ready for bed at night takes over an hour and when I need to do something it will take me FOREVER to get started and while I'm doing it, I'll go to another thing that I need to get done or check my phone (sometimes forgetting the first task altogether). It bothers me that I can never relax and just knit or watch a movie - I have to be doing something all the time. It's hard for me to finish my knitting and crochet projects because I lose interest and keep starting new ones. I do the same with reading books - I'll be reading one and be half way through when another book catches my eye and I start that one. In the end, nothing gets completed! I do lists now with my housework which helps some. Epath13 gave me some ideas on how to cope in another thread. I know I'm a nurse and should have picked up on this sooner (if I do indeed have it), but a person never sees things in themselves.
Anyone who has ADHD, can you tell me your symptoms and how you have chosen to deal with them?
