Thoughts of a ADHD Patient

A story I started to write for no reason.
If the story sounds all over the place, like I am kind of distracted and unorganized when I am writing it, that's because I am, and I actually might have ADHD.

Prologue
I’ve realized that in a room of people, not one seems blanked out. No one seems to have trouble concentrating on happening after about five minutes. No one’s eyes seem to dart across a room, so easily distracted. No one seems to be compulsively twitching.
No one but me.
My friend, Caitlin, always tells me that I have a horrible case of ADHD.
Even though I searched that up on Wiki about an hour ago, I can’t remember what it means now.
Just another sign of the disorder. Forgetfulness-I have trouble paying attention to details.

Chapter 1-Part 1
I often catch myself twitching, spacing out, having trouble concentrating, growing bored with activities easily, losing important items, talking continually, avoiding things like work and homework, not listening, interrupting people, etcetera-symptoms of ADHD.
More often, though, do I not realize that I am doing any of this until later-or not at all.
I just did it again. I turn from my notebook for one second, and the TV catches my eye.
Distractions.
It’s annoying, really, to be completely unable to concentrate a long time or to have to move from activity to activity to activity.
It’s embarrassing to look so different, fidgeting, eyes darting everywhere, face blank and confused.
It’s stupid to have trouble not talking or interrupting people.
I hate it.

I've got a little bit of writers block today, so I haven't written any more in my notebook.
Just a warning, this is probably like all my other stories, I writ a few chapters and than give up. I am like my father(ugh) that way, he never finishes his storie/books, even though he's a wannabe writer.

Wow, this is very well written! It just seems to flow without much effort, if you know what I'm saying? I like it, if you can't seem to figure out how to make a second chapter, you could always listen to music and brainstorm (I personally use Paramore) or you could turn it into a Journal and use things from your own life.
Anyways, It's wonderful! =D

I'm that way too, Misty and Suburb! Even if I really want to finish it and have lots of ideas I just fail. XD
