You Know You Have ADHD When ...

[Ethan.chase]

When you're talking on your phone as you walk to the fridge to get a glass of water. Call fails, think about how you should call back, see cheese in the fridge and decide you want crackers and cheese instead [forgetting about water] , go to the cupboard to find the crackers and they aren't there. start looking all over, finally remembering your roommate mentioned [also adhd] that they were in the bathroom a couple days ago. [don't ask lol]. Then you spend the next 2 hours trying to find your phone, because you then realize you had been on it, turns out its in the cupboard where you left it when you started looking for crackers.

When you read that and think holy crap. I wrote a lot. Sorry guys!

might I add, when the toast pops up and startles you and you think, "oh yeah, I was making toast...holy ***** I got a lot done in the time it takes to make toast!"

or you put toast in the toaster and then get distracted doing something else and remember 2 hours later about the toast so you go back to find the toast is cold and burnt because you forgot to change the setting. Throw in the bin and start over...............

You can't find your hairbrush, and you're late for an appointment. Defeated, you decide to comb your hair with a fork. But there are no clean forks, so you have to wash one expressly for this purpose.

You then congratulate yourself for your resourcefulness, while your partner refuses to even look at you.

When you're reading this thread and suddenly remember a funny story you want to share, but by the time you've scrolled down to the message box you've forgotten what it was...

Get in the car to return Thing to Friend's house, drive 45 minutes to Friend's house, pull in their driveway and realize Thing to be returned has been left at home... drive all the way back home, get out of the car, and suddenly see Thing, sitting innocently in the backseat the whole time...

While grabbing lunch at the drive through, order, pull up to the window, pay, and drive off without your food... guess I just felt like donating to charity that day...???

I usually smoke marlboro menthols. Prefer the taste though I wish they were more minty. All the Marlboro boxes are so boring. They should put some interesting pictures on them, like of cute furry animals (besides the images of the rotten lungs of course )

This is a longer one but classic:

Part One:
Friend comes over so the two of us can carpool to an event together.
Leave the house, turning the lock on the doorknob from the inside rather than bothering with keys.
Get to my car, start swearing. Car keys are attached to house keys, which are still in the house, which I am now locked out of.

Leave anyway in friend's car cos we're running late as it is.
Call roommate on her cell. No answer. Leave voicemail asking her to leave the door unlocked for when I get home late that night.
Relax, cos roomie is dependable.

Part Two:
Arrive home many hours later. Door is still locked. Weird.
Roommate does not respond to my knocking, doorbell ringing, pounding, yelling.
Call roomie's cellphone again. No answer. Maybe her battery died? Beginning to worry.
Hoping roomie is ok. Also hoping I do not have to spend the night on the sidewalk.

Go around back, clamber through the bushes, pound on roomie's window.
She finally wakes up, lets me in without a word, and goes back to bed.

Part Three:
I head to my room and find a note from her on my bedroom door asking me to please pay our shared cell phone bill, cos her line had been cutoff.
