My ADD and me!

Ok so everyone except me knows that I have ADD. I've had a hard time excepting it and although I haven't officially been diagnosed, I know deep down that I may very well be the poster child for it. If I was famous, I would be doing Adderall commercials with Ty Pennington from Extreme Makeover. I can see it now...I look over at Ty, "Hey Ty, did you take your Adderall today?" He ignores me and I repeat the question. He answers by saying "No, hey look Brian a red balloon!" I look and then get distracted by a quarter on the ground. Ty then says "Was that my cell phone ringing?" I then check to see if it's my cell phone and then forget to pick up the quarter. We get through the whole day without accomplishing a thing or remembering what we are doing. That would be only one episode in a long string of exciting yet forgetfull episodes with Brian and Ty. The crowd would watch in awe that we actually survive as humans.

Just so you understand why I would blog about this, I've been going through a period of self discovery lately and quite honestly this discovery was not my favorite one to find. I have always believed that I'm just a big goofball who can't remember anything. Wrong! I'm a big goofball who can't remember anything because I have ADD and my brain would rather move on the next best thing. Oh, I know that ADD is more than that, but because I can't remember all the stuff that the long boring article said about it, I just feel like summarizing it instead. <- note the rational of a person with ADD.

I think I'll go to a doctor and see what I need to do. I don't want to get on medication but I'll do it if I think that I will improve my memory. By the way, writing is one of the few things that I really focus on when I start doing it. So when I say that writing this blog is therapy for me...it really is.

I think I'll go now and try to accomplish my task list all at once and not get anyone of them done and of course, forget about the rest of the tasks when I lose the list under some things that were on my list to start with.

Pray for me!

I love my ADD.

Brian
