anyone on here have A.D.D or A.D.H.D.?
 

I have had sleep problems ever since I can remember. I never feel rested when I wake up. My dreams are very real feeling and somethime wake me up and I think they really happened. I can sit and stare at the TV for 4 hours and feel rested.
I dont listen very well and at times dont hear a single thing the person talking to me said. I stare at the computer at work for 5-15minutes at a time lost in thought and dont realize it. When I am reading I will read 2-3 pages in a book often time rereading sentenc es 2-3 times because I couldnt tell you what I just read. then after the 2 pages of reading I still cant tell you. If something that I am doing is stimulating enough I get tired and lose focus.
I am having a problem remembering peoples names, events, and other things. My wife will ask me to get something and while getting it the phone will ring and I'll answer it and forget what she asked for and wind up not getting it. I used to be pretty good with math and could do a lot of it in my head, now I have a hard time doing basic math in my head and have to write it down. I feel stupid.
I also sometimes avoid talking to people sometimes because I dont feel like listening to them or answering their questions, especially in person. I just dont feel like it dealing with conversation.
My wife says I am very selfish, but really My mind has no room to keep track of things other than what I do. Its like I have a hard enough time trying to keep my own self on track.
I get nasty real quick sometimes and snap. then I am over it in 10 minutes and feel bad.
No patience.

I went and saw someone last year but she was still working on her license and wasnt much help. She just kept on having me try all of these drugs and such. It seemed like I evaluated myself and she did nothing but give me drugs. Nothing helped and I finally asked her if there was anything I could do besides drugs and she got offended. the I asked her what her evaluation was and she could tell me what I had exactly or what tests would reveal what I had. So I stopped seeing her.

some days are better than others on all of the above.
anyone have anything like this? am I fuct up? I feel bad for my kids cause they see it and sometimes are victims of it.

sounds like A.D.H.D. i was told i had it when i was a kid. not so much the sleep problem but i do all the other things. my GF will tell me someting and ask me what she said like a minute later and i cant remember.

:humm: That's alot to deal with. The impatience /irritability can be related to not sleeping well. It sounds all interrelated. I have heard from a couple people that nutritional therapy is helpful. Like "Alternative Health Concepts". It might be worth checking into alternative concepts, they can do testing for deficiencies that might be making it worse, and put you on a nutrition based program to help get things closer to right.
Just an idea.

I had A.D.D as a kid but they said i grew out of it.... I forget a lot of stuff I wonder if I still have it :humm:

I'll go to write something down, like a phone number or card number. I have to re-read it 3 times cause I either write down a wrong number or forget a number or two. Or I take off to the store and forget what I went there for.

My famous one is forgetting my wallet when I get sent to the store. I'll get all the way there and have to go back. Before I even get to the house door my wifes arm is out of it with my wallet.

dude its stress and lack of sleep.....ive had the same thing for a few years but not very bad....now over here with the stress i got to deal with it has made it ALOT worse.....


or your just suffering from CRS......

i started keeping extra money in the truck for that same reason

I have tried taking straight B-12 and tri vitamins and it didnt do anything. I changed my diet and took vitamins, still no change. I tried one of the new sleeping pills that didnt put you straight out like the old ones and still felt tired as hell in the morning.
I also tried a herbal ADD medication and that didnt do anything.

Like Logan mentioned, it's likely stress related.
