the last couple of years i haven't been able to sit through tv shows, lectures in class, or long discussions with people. Movies at theatres are esp bad. Months ago at Spider Man II i walked out in the first 20 minutes b/c i felt overwhelmed/overstimulated and restless. I thought that it was just b/c i really didn't like the movie. but tonight i just walked out of National Treasure when i really was enjoying the movie. it felt like my heart was racing. i was gripping the arm rests and clenching my teeth. i could not sit still. i love to read books, but the last book (i just finished, finally) took me a week to read b/c i could only read 20/30 pages at a time. i don't know what is wrong with me.
i didn't used to be like this. as a kid i read at least one book a day and could sit still for hours at a time. i thought that ADD usually started in childhood, but now i am wondering if i have it and why it would hit me at 21. i see a new pdoc on thursday, but i wanted to run it by everyone here first. i have already been diagnosed with OCD and borderline personality disorder and am wondering why/how i could possibly have three disorders at the same time. this makes no sense!
