Hi all,
I am a mom. I guess i have ADD. I try to read a lot to understand about ADD and how to help or change yourself. I am not on any medication. I sat down to think as to why am i being the way i am. I understood that i don’t like work but instant fun, no rewards mean anything to me. The best is to be alone, read on the internet,play brain games, eat what i like and just while away time. Though i managed to do 2 masters degree, get married, have a child, run a family… I still need to keep pushing myself every day to do what i need to do. Nothing motivates me. I like researching. Just wondering how come others are able to continuously work one after the other without the need to sit idle, go on the internet and read / research etc., Only huge pride or reward or recognition motivates me…which naturally no one gets for day to day ordinary works in life. I can see tge time flying by in front of my eyes but i don’t seem to be bothered until it is 4 pm when the child is back home. Then i scurry to do the dinner etc etc…i don’t like to start something until it is immediately needed or urgent or somebody demands for it now.
Why can’t i see the big picture and wait for rewards of life like others ? Why this lazy attitude or is it smart to do very quickly and efficiently at the last moment… I save a lot of time doing this way to only waste it again on games and internet. Your thoughts, advices etc are welcome.
