At work do you notice that coworkers less talented then you get the recognition, advancement and raises?
-
Does it seem like you are often 3 steps ahead of your coworkers yet nobody seems to be able to relate to your ideas or are willing to consider your suggestions?
-
In your personal relationships does your partner say you don't finish things that you start, or that you aren't following through on your commitments? Do these discussions end up in an argument?
-
When something or someone upsets you do you find it difficult to calm back down and let go of the hurt?
These scenarios are an example of what adults with attention deficit disorder (Adult ADHD) often struggle with at work and in their personal lives. Some of the common symptoms of ADD are:
-
Feeling overwhelmed when you have too many deadlines over a short period
-
Procrastinating when faced with difficult or complicated tasks
-
Difficulty finishing tasks once the interesting parts are complete
-
Ongoing conflict with bosses or coworkers
-
An inability to keep your home or workspace neat and organized
-
Finding it difficult to stay focused in meetings where a lot of people are talking
-
Having a quick temper or a “short fuse”
-
Being easily upset by small annoyances
-
Having low self-esteem due to not having your talents recognized by others
These are a few of the things adults who suffer from Adult ADHD struggle with daily. It's helpful to remember that Adult ADHD is a neuro-biological disorder and not a weakness of character. Even so, a proper diagnosis and good treatment and coaching on how to cope with ADD can alleviate your symptoms and get you on the road to the fulfilling and meaningful life you've always dream of.
