Yes,  it's so difficult having ADHD and being a Zazzler. I just started back at Zazzle again, trying to focus more. I have to create schedules and stay strict,  while also not burning out and getting bored. 

I admire you for doing what you can to focus, unfortunately, I've had to seek help as it was getting out of hand, so much work and so little results, due to leaping about all over the place.

So many people talk about having ADHD, and a lot of it is BS; I did a charity thing once and took an actual ADHD sufferer on a shopping spree at Walmart to supply her new apartment. Had to re-focus this person every 10 seconds (could've really been 5 seconds). She was all over the place, and just throwing stuff into the cart willy-nilly, kept disappearing as soon as my back was turned, and we were there in the store for 4 hours. Never experienced anything like it. It was crazy.

Yep, this is how I shop except I'm in there rapido (or it feels rapid to me!) because of all the whizzing about chucking everything in the trolley. I go in for 1 thing and come out with a trolley full of stuff I never knew I needed! I hate shopping with other people and yes I often 'lose' them! I don't have time to look at tomatoes.

It’s unfortunate when people claim they have ADHD without a diagnosis.
