[QUOTE="dcwsaranac, post: 130004, member: 4746"] OK, here's my secret: Besides being easily distracted, and unable to organize (yes, you should see my car and my office), I hear music and voices. I can be in the middle of talking to you and have one of two things happen: If I am listening - I start hearing a song for no apparent reason, or I hear voices/an imaginary conversation. Mind you, they are my own voice, I have never believed them to be anything other than my imagination kicking in at a bad time. Either way, I lose focus and have to fill in the blanks or have things repeated. If I am speaking - I find myself struggling for the right words as in my mind I am looking for just the right words to convey my thoughts. Even worse, my mind wanders and people think I am done speaking - this frustrates me because the conversation moves on and I haven't made my point, leaving me searching for the opportunity to break in and finish what I was saying. OK, maybe I need to take a little trip to the psychiatric just for me. :blushing2: I've always figured this was normal and didn't worry. Now I'm wondering if this is a sign of ADD. [/QUOTE]
