I have not been diagnosed with ADD but I do some things that Im not sure whether or not they are related to ADD. I am wondering if you all could help me. I can clean my house and then in what seems like hours the place is a wreck again. I have a hard time throwing things away. I am totally unorganized but I know exactly where everything is. Organized chaos is the best way to describe me and my things. My whole house is clean but I have to have one room that is a total disaster. I dont know maybe I am the one weird person out there. Well, I hope not. Thanks for responding to this chaotic woman...:D

My apartment is a wreck, I can't focus well enough to clean, and when I do clean I don't throw things away and just put things in semi-neat piles. I don't even think I could call it organized chaos. It's more like chaotic junkpiling.

I was diagnosed about 10-12 years ago. The paperwork is a giveaway... I have the stuff all over my dining room table and kitchen counter. I can never seem to get it under control. Very overwhelming.

I find clutter very distracting. I also have the one room that is a disaster (but doesn't everyone?) I did have depression along with it, but I've gotten better at learning to manage both.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
