However now that it is really starting to affect me (memory, can’t focus, constantly jumping from thing to thing, cant sleep b/c my mind is going non-stop) it really sucks. I’m not asking anyone to feel sorry for me or bend anything to suit me. Its something I have, and I’m going to live with it and do what I can to help myself. It never really bothered me until I got my new job and the inability to focus and the non-stop jumping back and forth is actually starting to affect my work which can’t happen with what I do. I work on million plus dollar machinery and one minor fuck-up can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. > That is all. > > Oooo, a piece of candy… > > Edit: Here is my current list of projects that I have going on all at the same time… > > 1. Restore of 1983 Suzuki GS550 (Started last summer) > 2. Building my Jeep (Started over 4 years ago) > 3. Remodelling a bathroom (Started about 1.5 months ago) > 4.

I once thought all the ‘mental’ health and taking care of your mind was all bs, but after seeking proper care it has truly has turned my life around. I was a fucking mess just over a year ago, and now I’m completely content with everything and closer than ever to my true friends and family. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/add-adhd/252072)._
