So...I was talking to my mother tonight and she reminded me of something that I had as a child, but for some reason I thought I had grown out of, which I hadn't.
Some of you, may be familiar with A.D.D -- Attention Deficit Disorder. Some of you may think it's bogus, others may not. I can certainly tell you that it is not bogus. What is it you might ask? You can go to this Link here and read up on it.
What I am going to do is post a list of Symptoms. The following list, I have about 98% of the list (there's a few that don't apply to me, which I will bold).
* An internal sense of anxiety
* Impulsive spending habits
* Frequent distractions during sex
* Frequently misplace the car keys, your purse or wallet or other day-to-day items
* Lack of attention to detail
* Family history of ADD, learning problems, mood disorders or substance abuse problems
* Trouble following the proper channels or chain of commands
* An attitude of "read the directions when all else fails"
* Frequent traffic violations -- only because I don't have a car
* Impulsive job changes --- I'm capable of keeping a job thus far, while not medicated with what I should be on...scary ain't it?
* Trouble maintaining an organized work and/or home environment
* Chronically late or always in a hurry
* Frequently overwhelmed by tasks of daily living
* Poor financial management and frequent late bills
* Procrastination
* Spending excessive time at work due to inefficiencies --- Work is the last place I wanna spend excessive time at.
* Inconsistent work performance
* Sense of underachievement
* Frequent mood swings
* Trouble sustaining friendships or intimate relationships
* A need to seek high stimulation activities
* Tendency toward exaggerated outbursts
* Transposing numbers, letters, words
* Tendency toward being argumentative
* Addictive personality toward food, alcohol, drugs, work and/or gambling --- I don't really drink, hardly do drugs, I don't like working and I don't gamble, so that leaves food, which I do like...a lot...explains my gut as well, aside from laziness.
* Tendency to worry needlessly and endlessly
* "Thin-skinned" - having quick or exaggerated responses to real or imagined slights
-------
So yea, if you ever thought I weird, whacked out, etc, THIS explains why. This is the missing piece that I forgot about waaaay back when, when I stopped takin my rittlen.
