OMGGG - I havnt belonged for long - reading these has made me laugh so much & relate so much - after a friend had a long long talk with me about organisation and tidiness (she doesnt know I am ADD..wouldnt believe me anyway!!)..........she said that every time I had something in my hand I should think 'I must throw this away or find a place for this' - I then lost a really important document because I had put it somewhere 'safe' then forgot where the safe place was........

I also recently lost my beloved camera - and found it at the bottom of a bag of dogfood one month later - how did it get there? have no idea....*big sigh*.................HA!

XX to everyone...:)

Hi Cathrynn!
Welcome to this site....I haven't been here long either. It's funny how I thought certain things about me were just little quirks that only I had, until reading some of these stories we have in common.

I can so relate to your story as well!! Once I found my car keys in the dog food bag which was in our chest freezer. Of course, after frantically ripping the entire house apart and nearly in tears.

So, just curious, how do you react when a friend tries to tell you how to organize? Or have you ever tried to tell someone you have ADD and they don't believe you? Or they don't think that disorganization is a part of having ADD?

And.....XX back to you!

Here is a classic Lizard ADHD moment!!! ARGHHHHHH, I kill myself sometimes?

I have been seeing a lot of specialists these days in my pursuit of dealing with problem solving with my insurance company and I was being asked questions by a new nurse and she asked if my birthdate was correct and I am like yup, but I am 45 and the computer says I am 44? We both sat there and were like HUHM?? So I am like ok, whatever, no big deal.

I get home later and do the math and SHEEESSSSHHHH, Lizard, I am 44 for another week!!!! OMG, I told people that inquired all year that I was 45 and I am not? So I have now known I am 44 for a few weeks and then all of the sudden I turn 45!! Wicked wierd!

LOL Great list Bryan- it's so nice to have a place to visit and know that people really do get what it's like! : )

Here is my current ADHD moment for you!

Now that we have, let me count - Oh, 25 pets, 23 fish and a dog and a kitty, I am trying to get a new routing going on for feeding time, so I am all on it since the girls are out with friends! I feed the adult fish, crush up the fry food, put the cat and dog food down and the cat and dog sit there staring at me? I am like eat, what the heck? I gave the 4 month old kitty, dog food chunks and the dog cat food! OOOPS! good thing I did not switch the fish food with the dogs!

Oh Lizard lol I have done that sooooooooo many times !!!

You buy more then one birthday card for your mom because you know you are going to loose at least one of them before you end up sending it (late). Then you realize that you never sent any of them.

When you have been married for 5 yrs and still have not changed your name on everything :)

[Zettie]

You are actually ahead of schedule and think that now you have time to do one more thing and then you end up being late anyway. Oh well, par for the course!

[Unintentional stoner]

I have done that so many times- am overcoming it though

[Ellen J]

ALL THE TIME!!!! And then I wonder why I'm late!?!!

[Ellen J]

ALWAYS!!!!!...and I hate it. Why can't I just say "Never mind!" and get my butt OUT the door?!!!!? I can't seem to stop myself.
