my adhd dilemma

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

i think i have something like adhd.  i find it difficult to concentrate on one thing for a long period of time.  at work, i can’t do just one thing.  when i do research, i get bored when i browse only for the research topic.  i have to open a lot of tabs for my other surfing needs.  after a certain period of time devoted to researching and surfing, i have this urge to do something else or something more, basta something different.  and since there’s nothing else left for me to do, in front of the computer that is, i get really, really bored. 

when i study, i can’t read assigned cases or readings for a long period of time.  i would have to watch television o kaya every few minutes i would think of food.

my mind is all over the place.  i want to always multi-task.  i have to keep my mind preoccupied with a lot of stuff all the time otherwise i get bored and then eventually it leads to frustration.  i think there are two possible explanations for my adhd dilemma:

explanation # 1: i just get bored easily period

explanation # 2:  i am not in my area of interest.  i can’t sustain my attention because i’m not that interested in the things that i’m involved in. 

i don’t think it’s the first explanation so something can be done about this dilemma.  i just have to find a way to get to that field that interests me.  forces of nature, please, please, please send me an opportunity so i can get there.
