Could it be Adult ADHD?

Hello again, How are you? I know it depends on the day, time, hour, rain, pain, grass….anything can trigger a mood in one way or another. I’m glad you’re here though, so I thank you for that.

I think in my previous post I mentioned that maybe I have ADHD. I am a TikTok whore and I saw one that said these things may mean you have Adult ADHD. And I always thought ADHD was for people who were over active not under active. And I say ADHD because some of the things maybe even most I was like that is me holy crap, could I have ADHD? So I went and explored until I got bored (one thing it said, attention span), and I just feel that this could explain a lot for me. And I will finally be able to learn myself better and be able to really notice triggers. I’m going to get screened for it and see. Maybe I’m just a normal anxious depressed menopausal 50 ish year old woman, who knows.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I can fixate on something for weeks months and then when I get bored of it the chances are I will never look at it again. Like paint my number apps, and jigsaw puzzles, every chance I got I was there doing them for weeks and months and then I just got bored and stopped completely. I obsess over what thing I am going to do next, that I never finish, rarely ever finish. junk journaling, scrap booking, cridut, cross stitch, you get what i mean. Junk journaling was last year and i bought anything and everything i thought i’d need, jewellery, papers junk, papers, paints, stamps etc. But i only created the journal and maybe decorated like two pages. I still have all the stuff because I’m still interested. just not enough to pull it all back out yet. and it’s not just hobbies, it’s make-up, hair products, perfumes, antique dinner ware (although i’m still trying to finish this). picture frames, purses, is it a shopping addiction? Because I’m cured of shopping out in the real world, people are way too people for me. I cannot stand to be around large groups of people anymore especially strangers like at a mall, theatre, thrift store. Nope i can’t do it any more. and i loved shopping, I stopped at least three times a week to shop after work.

” How to keep house while drowning” by KC Davis., is the book i’m reading when i can concentrate on it for more than 5 minutes. but so much of it so far I can relate to. At one point I looked for cameras in my home to see if they were spying on me because everything seems to resonate with what I’m going through. Very eye opening and it’s been so very helpful. I recommend it.

Anyways, enough yammering for me for now I need to 420.

Happy you’re here, see you next time.
