Okay so i went for my learners...i'm 21 and i failed like a year ago cause i felt overwhelmed.

i've been studying and i feel prepared so there i was standing in the middle of Govt transport building writing the form silently cursing to myself cause i have ADD and apparently that is why my handwriting is terrible.

I had everything to prove i was me...right?! My passport, birth certificate, credit card and bank card and my bankcard statement that had my address on it right?

Nope :mad:

i 'forgot' my bank statment. The poor man standing next to me must have thought i was crazy. muttering to myself and searching through my bag and cursing.

It is kinda funny but mostly i think that what always hits me hard with my ADD...that i think i do things but then when i need them they're not there.

Sometimes i think im OCD cause i always have to check my bag in the morning cause i cant remeber if i packed everything and not just half of my books. cause you know when i try to prepare i pack my bag the night before class...but know nows? i hear my brother talking, or the T.v is on and i see a show i like, or i see my cat and i give her a pat and then a brush and by then i have forgetten i've only packed half my bag.

ARG!!!! i'm so ****ed! i was really really ready to do the stupid test. i studied for like a month. i wrote,i repeated, i rewrote and repeated the material OVER and OVER again cause its the only way i remember

Amyway i gotta go to class...so i'll stop raving

Hope everyone is good

You got to have your back statement in Australia to get a learners permit to drive?

We need mail with our addresses on it in order to get a library card.

Sandy, if it's any consolation, isn't it nice to know you have the correct diagnosis? You have described the impairment of ADHD. The OCD: a coping skill for your ADHD. I have to check my pack or purse or book bag every morning before I leave the house.

Too bad about a piece of paper preventing you from getting your learner's licence today. The joys of ADHDerhood.

OKay that makes sense I thought she had to have a bank statement . . . okay never mind another great moment in ADD history. Apologies.

Just like me. I thought the written test was easy. That was me I know friends who failed it. Good luck. You should pass they are not so strict on people your age and if your a girl they all help because they are crully strict on Males and thier drive esp when under the age of 18 which really can bug you. Like they come out and say it.
