Article: Uncomfortable Truths About the ADHD Nervous System

ADHD is tough to live with. I often feel like my brain is constantly running away from me. And when I'm not medicated? The anxiety is crippling. Everything is overwhelming. As I sit here typing this, I have the TV on in the background, and my feet are wiggling and twisting. I should be writing a term paper -- instead, I've looked at Best Buy for a new laptop and what is the difference between an Intel i7 and an AMD a12? Oh and E wanted those markers -- I should add those to her Amazon wish list. And while I'm there I wonder if there's anything D would like for Christmas. He's got a list, too. And R needs new pants. Did I see an email about a sale at Old Navy? I should check that out. Damn it, the cat is trying to hack up a hairball -- not on the carpet, Katy! Shit, I never called that one guy back, I need to remember to do that tomorrow. Well crap, it's time for bed already. This is what it's like inside my head, all day long. My thoughts jump around like -- well, like frogs on crack. And while I was searching for "frogs on crack" I found this compilation of animals making goofy noises. I never knew that hedgehogs squeaked. So yeah, if you are ever wondering why I never got back to you about coffee or that thing I promised to do for you, it's because my meds wore off and my brain wandered off and got lost.
