I know ADD and ADHD'ers usualy are very proun to extream actions,
Have the actions helped you in any way and where have they heart you?

I blert out statements, sometimes very honest and to the point sometimes my mind is thinking out in left field somewhere and I will say things which has nothing to do with the conversation. When thiss happens now I just say sorry ADD acting up. But these times sre getting futher and further apart with the more understanding and awaireness I'm gaining into my life's working or should I say the more I learn to consentrait and pay attention to a conversation.

I do this all the time. Blurting out random thoughts in the middle of a conversation is my forte. I'm a pro at it.

It is getting better with time. Not better. I just don't talk as much. This gives people the illusion that I'm mysterious and that I'm really listenening to them.

I think ADDer's just think faster than most people. Their thoughts can't be contained so they just slip out. Commonly referred to as "blurting".

I embrace my blurting. Makes for a good subject change.

So their is someone else like me and I'm not allone LOL, Hi, I'm Dave

I'm probably a bit too honest for my own good. But I've got enough going on in head without trying to remember lies!

Most people appreciate honesty but few practice it.

I've found you can get away with anything if it's accompanied with a cheeky smile. ;)

LOL, well almost anything. It hasn't always worked on getting out of tickets. But so far Lady cops have been very receptive to my smile.

I have the same problem so I know it is hard to get over. This is how I fixed it to a nice extent so I don't say so stuiped things is by for a month thinking before I said anything, I know this may sound immpossible but just write it on your hand and try your best to remember.

This may sound bad but just keep at it and then after a month drop it and you will find alot of stuiped things are gone from your mind.

I used to think it was not enough to just not tell a lie, but that it was my obligation to tell the truth. :o

I now see that what I might see as the "truth" is in fact not my call. I'm just not that close to omnipotent.

Even when I try not to tell a lie, I'm often caught believing I know something when it turns out later that I knew very little. I'm less apt to find it my duty now to straighten people out. Although I'll probably take a whacking here for saying so! Just remember all those slingers of arrows that I was much much worse once upon a time. :eek:

Often my actions of speed have been physical. I've grabbed things about to fall or cause injury, or been quick to react in the car and have avoided trouble that way.

I used to a big blurt er. Taking dextroamphetimine has been a big help on this. When I was going on and off the dex to try and figure out how it might be helping me this was the thing I noticed most. In the past my impulsive jokes or comments would alienate me terribly from any group. I have since enjoyed working in groups and being accepted well there. I still have to take my time if my emotions run high. :foot:
Cheers! Ian

Ian, I was the same way. Now I catch myself in a thought of something I am about to say and hold off. Usualy long enough to place the thought in an appropreate place and time. I leaning timeing is everything in conversations.

It's pretty sweet not to be setting fire to everything I touch. :D

Or having to put them out ! LOL
