Do I have Adult ADD?!
Question:
Do I have Adult ADD?
I am 26 years old,male, have always thought I have had ADD, have always chewed my fingernails, I feel like my brain is always racing, smoke constantly, have drank alot/used drugs (mostly marijuana) in the past to keep me occupied, lose things on occassion, it's too a point where I am having problems making major life decisions. I feel very restless as well, anybody got any suggestions or can relate???
Answers:
Do the problems affect you in more than one setting - such as at school, at work, and at home? How are you at organization and prioritizing? Can you remember what you ate for supper last night? How hard is it for you to first creat a goal, then break it down into parts, then follow through to get each part done to complete the goal?
If all of these are issues for you, then I'd say you're a strong candidate for ADD. I am the former Learning Disabilities Specialist for a NY state university and I've not only worked with hundreds of adult students with ADD, I raised a daughter with ADD.
