This is the best diagnosis of my condition (and possibly
yours) that I have ever read. If it doesn't fit your condition,
just wait.

AAADD

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock It over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye-- they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back o n my desk,
but first I 'am going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone
left
it on the kitchen tab le.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's
on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where
it belongs, but firstI'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.


At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

It fits; all too well! ;-) I'll send this on to some others - email - too.
It dawned on me several years ago that this must be a little what it's like
to have ADD... at least in terms of actions more than in pure thought.

On spouse support ADD lists it is not uncommon for female spouses
(spice?) to wonder if ADD is contagious after years of living with it. I
wondered it myself until I came here and found so many others who
developed it in peri whether or not they share their lives with someone
with lifetime ADD.

Mine didn't kick in until post-meno - but then neither did my hot flashes
or insomnia.

I'm printing the original out for a colleague - to bring to school in Sept.
(I don't know her home e-mail addy). She came to me - knowing I'm a few
years ahead of her in this game - last year, because her memory was playing
tricks on her & it was driving batty; I assured her it was normal - annoying
but normal, & that she was in lots of good company. ;-)
