I know exactly what you mean. Of course, I have a very bad habit of starting a book and then getting my attention drawn to another and then start that book. :)
What? I was thinking about something else.
ADHD is the same things as ADD but with hyperactivity. You can't have a mix of them both you can either have one or the other.
Oh yeah David B. Sudderth/Joseph Kandell "Adult ADD the com Complete Handbook"
Does anyone else get the feeling that "the whole world has slowed down just for me" after taking the stimulants.....
im glad im not the only one! Goodreads has been a lifesend. I read five to six books at the same time and goodreads helps me keep track of where i am in all of them and reminds me of the ones that i havent finished.
I found out I had ADD about 18 years ago. It was good to know why I had so many issues like starting a project and not finishing it, and oh, all the clutter...

Anna, I wrote an ebook called, Life with ADD: Ain't it Grand. It's an illustrated, short and honest portrayal of my life. I think you'd enjoy it. Here's a piece from the book:…Without a routine, though hard I try
to declutter my life, things go awry.
Where items belong can be a mystery
and if I forget where I put them
they are history.
I'll try to find it as an ebook. I've been recently diagnosed and I'm still trying to understand, on one hand it's been a relief and everything makes a lot of sense now but on the other hand I still have lots of doubts and at times I feel I might not have it and that I might be just looking for "excuses", I can go quite hard on myself sometimes.
Anna, I know when you first get diagnosed with ADD it can be bewildering. A good book to read is Delivered from Distraction by Dr. Edward Hallowell. Be kind to yourself. Having ADD isn't easy, but you'll figure it out.
Umm I have combo ADD+ADHD. It's a lot of fun! (not)
Anyway hello, I can read a lot and often because it is in fact something I adore. If it weren't I wouldn't' be able to get through a book ever.
