In reply to can't sit still: is it ADD?, posted by smokeymadison on November 28, 2004, at 0:07:03
I do not know for sure but it sounds a LOT to me like anxiety. I have walked out of concerts and shows, same with the reading when my anxiety is sky high..(so you know for future reference on your way out tel the manager youre ill and often they ill give you a pass for another show date and time)
> 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!
