My ADHD-blog

I'm working already the whole morning on this blog.
So I should stop because I have allot to do.
But there is so much I would like to write about.

I will keep it short for now but I find it hard to explain to people what ADHD means.
what it does in my life.

So I will just describe the start of a day in my life:

When I wake up, I decide to take a shower.
So I go out of my bed and walk towards the shower.
Then I pass my office and think, oh yes I can already start my computer so when I come out of the shower I don't have to wait anymore. So I turn on the computer.
Then I go on to the shower but she the kitchen and decide to make myself a cup of coffee.
But before I do that I go back to the sleeping room to ask my wife if she also would like a cup of coffee.

We started to talk about anything else and finally I realize we talked to long.
I'm almost going to be to late for my work so I better get dressed.
Then I go back to my office and decide to check my emails, just quickly.
But of course I need a coffee, so I decided to start my email program and in the mean time
go to the kitchen and make coffee.
But then I realized that I forgot to ask my wife if she wanted a cup of coffee.
She said yes so I make a cup of coffee.(again....)
I know I'm late so I will take a quick shower.
But in the shower I realized that I made coffee and I don't want to let it get cold.
So I go back to the kitchen and get my cup of coffee.
When I'm having my coffee I might as well read the emails in the same time.
But of course I will first bring a cup of coffee to my wife.
Then when I finally sit down with my cup of coffee at my computer I see that I got some emails.
I quickly read them and look at the clock.
Oops, I'm going to be late if I don't hurry.
Still quickly answer some emails and then finally take the quick shower.
When I come out of the shower I realize I did not take any breakfast.
But it's already so late so I have to forget the breakfast and run to work.

The rest of the morning I walk around with a headache because I didn't eat breakfast.

So this is just a 'short' explanation of a day, well... morning in my life.
This might give you an idea how it is to live with ADHD.
And also how it is for my wife to live with me.

But there is hope!
I just started with a new medicine called Strattera.
And I also started now with therapy.
