Management Executive

All that and I forgot the whole point of what I was trying to say in the comments see I jumped for one thing and sideline another conversation lol I make a to-do list every day, but they’re so vague and then I forget what the point of the to do list is and I forget or don’t get it done. My to-do list are super detailed. We’re talking where I say. Get up at 6 AM., , brush your teeth, shower, etc lol, then I’ll say go pack a bag, but make sure you put your binder your pencils your book like there has to be specifics. You are spot on with laundry if I just put laundry that can be an array of things, but I have to say make sure you wash the towels. Make sure you wash the white clothes. Make sure you wash the color clothes or if I say clean the living room, make sure you make a bin for things that are going to donations a bin for things you’re keeping a bind for things that you’re giving away.. I have overloaded the to-do list without meaning to I have the intent of only putting a couple things but then as I’m thinking of things I’m just adding on and on and on and then it gets so overwhelming that it just doesn’t get done or gets pushed over to. So by looking at examples, I’ve been trying to put on there saying do you only three things or three priority things. I like how you have one important one meeting one small But I still end up saying oh just one more lol I am a visual person. I need visual aid. I need something that I can feel.. although digital has made things easier it’s sent to complicate things further. I have a digital calendar on my phone, but I also have a physical calendar on top of that. I need to have you know a wall calendar a dry race board right next to the computer I need to be able to see it and feel it because if it’s not a sight that means out of mind, it does not exist. I have an alarm for everything the phone is constantly on low battery.. I have an alarm for every medication that I take.

Omg this is spot on! I seriously thought something was wrong with me for years and I’ve been trying to do my own research and speaking to people that have ADHD especially women and how I processed things and have been doing things in a certain way that feels just so wrong but I feel like I’m losing my mind and the slides that you have here. It’s like it’s describing me to a T. In February this year I was tested for ADHD and the VA psychologist was like oh you tested negative. Your cognitive was perfectly fine. What?! I don’t agree come to find out they’re using some old archaic test, which is based on mostly males. I said that stupid test is not gonna tell you anything about me. They should be testing people individually not everyone is the same and I’ve just been gathering notes and what I go through daily and my VA Psychiatrist prescribed me ADHD medication and when I tell you, it was like the holy Grail it helped me focus, but obviously I still have issues and when I see these slideshows on here of people going through the ADHD symptoms I know I’m not alone and I’m saving these cause. I’m putting a file together to show my doctor on Thursday of everything I’ve been experiencing that falls under ADHD because I don’t know how to explain it in words right off the top of my head because I get tongue tied. I forget it’s a whole array of things and it offers under ADHD.. I’ve been investigator all my life so it’s like basically investigating and putting all the facts together Details and presenting it and I get hyper focused on that and it’s basically gonna be like me reading from the paper or be like here you go so she can see and then we can get tested lol Sorry for the long story, but thank you for the slides. They help cemented even more than I need to get retested because that first doctor was a piece of work and was judgmental and dismissive at the same time. :)
