Thank you. Every time I set down my wallet, keys, phone, and pocket equipment and whenever it's time to pick everything up. I lose everything. I have lost my wallet + cash roughly 6-9 times this year so far and probably like 4k cash.
I always miss deadlines and forget everything, I was diagnosed with ADHD with a child, but went along with the narrative that I was just lazy, or didn't have discipline, or was just an underachiever(even though everyone would insist I was very smart), some of my friends when I graduated high school going to MIT/Princeton told me. "Dude, cmon you should be here with us, what's going on?".
So I resolved many times so far to try harder and that I was just lazy, and gained many times extreme inspiration, inspiration that almost all in my life say they've personally never experienced, but always I would lose my path. I would just, forget... then one day on the bottom of depression and people around me picking up on my anxiety issues, people around me kept picking up on observations of me and recommended I try to get professional help.
I know now I actually have this fucking thing, and that for me it's so bad that even if I know that some task is due that will cause me impending doom in a matter of a few days on even 3 hrs. I will always just get distracted, or forget some deadline. Over, and fucking over again, but if I actually remember to take this stupid fucking medication that i'm given. My life is normal again and I can actually achieve the performance my peers/teachers/community has always expected of me.
Through fucking countless suffering and being told i'm a lazy piece of shit, dumbass kid is always late to class even though I arrived to school early because I got distracted. I found that i'm not always like that. I have PLENTY of emotional baggage, and my personal life is 40x crazier than what i'm allowed to post here(Friends in prison in recent years).
But this DISORDER, however ill-specified it is or what everyone's fucking problem it is. Taking my medication daily or SOMETHING will help me achieve. So when I'm not distracted i don't crash into the fucking car in front of me or the side pavement of the freeway to check my phone impulsively over and over again.
Lol. You people have no fucking idea what you do to me with your armchair bullshit opinions, and you have NO idea how much it's hurt me over the years. I can't tell you how many times I haven't had the attention spamn to notice my tire is flat or THIS, OR THAT. Is happening. Some times, I just get distracted by whatever activity that I forget to eat for like 2-3 days straight, and thus at 5'7 am roughly 100~ish pounds.
- darkarmani 13y agoThe book below is pretty awesome. The other wrote two different books: Driven to distraction and delivered from distraction. http://www.amazon.com/Delivered-Distraction-John-J-Ratey-ebook/dp/B000FCKLWK/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395164321&sr=1-1&keywords=delivered+from+distraction http://www.amazon.com/Delivered-Distraction-John-J-Ratey-ebo...
