ADD Insomnia


My mind jumps from place to place like a bored teen scanning channels; looking for something to watch. 

I pause occasionally only to be drawn away by some errant intrusive thought barging in and pulling me attention away. 

A million ideas but none complete. Unable to slow the processing enough to fully formulate any single coherent... where was I? ... shit!... I lost it. 

Anyway, to an outsider looking in it must look like a bee or perhaps some frenetic hummingbird flitting from flower to flower in search of nectar. From the inside it feels like I'm in a pinball machine; launched at breakneck speed in one direction only to have my course changed abruptly before ever reaching my destination; then changing again just as quickly. 

No rhyme, no reason, no discernible pattern. Just an uncontrollable, unpredictable... shit! ... I lost it again.  

Ever wonder what ADD is like?
Here you go.
