| Thanks for your reply!! If I were you, I'd still go to a doctor and get a complete work up, including blood and urine tests. That way, you can rule out any physical conditions that could be causing your symptoms. It sounds like you have ADHD, but that way, you know there isn't something underlying (and easily treatable) that is causing these symptoms. It's more of an insurance policy, I guess. As for environments, I know that some places just will not be productive for me unless I take strong steps. For example, fluorescent lights and total silence are a bad combination for me. If I work in a dev pit, I need headphones and carefully curated playlists. If I get bored and start hunting for better music, I'm screwed for the rest of the day. If I sit somewhere where people are constantly walking by in my peripheral vision, I'm going to have problems. I sound like a lovely guy to invite to parties... But, ADHD is my secret weapon, so sometimes I want to enhance the symptoms. If I'm in a group setting, I'm most productive when we deviate from the agenda. Little bits of small talk mixed in with 'business' get my creative juices flowing. If you let me go, I'll come back (eventually) with something. If I expose myself to chaos, chaos often rewards me with interesting ideas! Good luck! And, if you need anything, my email is in my profile! |
