- Easily Distracted-Lets just have a 15 minute converstation and see if I finish anything statement I started)
- Frequently misplaces things (All the time)
- skips around while reading (I highly doubt I ever read the bible from cover to cover...i have tried...but end up page flippin)
- Poor listening skills (please do not tell me your name, or something important if I am in thought)
- constant motion (legs moving, fidgetiness)
- impatient- working on this one. I am patient with the kids but with daily life I am impatient. I have always got to be in a hurry to get somewhere
- often has piles of stuff- take a look at my desk
- Difficulty falling asleep and coming awake- My most productive time is between 10:00pm-1:00am...just don't wake me before 8:30 in the morning
- Periods of low energy (early in the am and in the afternoon) My brain goes into what i like to call zombie mode
- Startles Easily- Just ask anyone who has said "hey" to me while I am deep in thought....it normally ends in jumping and screaming like you came out from behind a door.
Anyways....here's the deal I know I didn't have this a few years ago.. or atleast maybe I wasn't aware of it. I honestly think it has been my brains way of surviving with the more that I put on my plate and the more I have people calling my name. I remember the days of silence...and I will return to that....one "No" at a time. I remember the days of not having to "Go" all the time.
anyways over the next few months I am going to do some brain spring cleaning and go on a brain Spring break....I hope I haven't weirded anyone out with my diagnoses. the same way it onset....iwill be the same way it will leave.
I think you just diagnosed me as well! I have all of those too! I wish I could go on a brain spring break, but I have put so much on my plate that I'll be busy until the first week of July. Btw, I like reading your blog...you have a great way of looking at things! :)
