I know I need to work really hard right now so I can save my house, car, family, etc. I am in a really bad place financially.

However, my concentration and focus are superbad. I really am my own worst enemy. I do not have time to deal with this crap.

I need to focus and get down to work but I am in my own LA LA land.

WTF is wrong with me?

Stress added to ADD???? That would be my personal guess based upon your brief post.

WTF is wrong with me?look on the good side of that post:D
at least you KNOW where to start, and you can try working on those problems

If it's any consolation - I totally know where you're coming from!!! However - I've been "stuck" in PARALYSIS MODE, just able to put out one fire after another, rinse & repeat, for the past 2 YEARS already!!!

Next week I'm scheduled to check into an intensive outpatient program in the mental health wing of my local hospital. It runs 5 days per week, 9 a.m. - 2:30p.m.! I can't take it anymore!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you!

Hi GoneFishin

Same place but 3000 miles away. I'm just hoping that my upcoming assessment will allow me to access some professional help to get through this.....plus maybe give me a bit of paper to wave at the taxman to say.....get off my back.

When was the last time you had a nice holiday and a brake from your medication. (you are on it right?) Maybe you just need to give your mind a brake from all the stress that occurs from day to day living, especially for ADD'ers

problems with ADHD are like piles, they tend to reproduce like rabbits breed at times, look into mindfulness, it helps tremendously when there's high stress to set aside time to just meditate.

Executive Function?

I know the feeling. It really sucks knowing you need to doing something but feeling like you really dont know how to go about it and where to start. When I feel like that I just want to give up and keep on doing what I am doing, which ends up putting me in a worse place.
Take positive steps, one step at a time. Wether it be setting up an automatic payment account or writing a list of goals.
I find that doing teh small things right, increases my confidence and helps me to do bigger things right.
not sure if this helps...
all the best.

hi Gonefishin

just wondering how you are. Its a pretty tough place to be, and I'm sittong here wondering why I should be sorting everything out, after all I am in a marriage and my partner knows me well enough by now.

So I'm wondering why she got me to start decorating the kitchen when there's no money coming in and I haven't a job.....maybe a bit of leadership to reduce outgoings, oncrease income and support me getting a job would be in order no?

No..oh well

gee..this makes me glad I had no idea I was ADHD until my 30s..
