ADD

Can you suddenly ‘develop’ ADD just before you hit 30?

Recently, I feel like my attention span has a length of roughly 10 minutes, sometimes even less than that. I find myself avoiding articles and columns online that I’d normally read through with relish, because I’ve skim-read them and weighed them up to be too long to bother with.

It extends to pretty much everything else – listening to music at home, I’m slicking through playlists constantly. When I’m watching movies, I’m ready to jump out of my seat if they don’t grab me right away.

Even writing this short piece, I’ve clicked out of Word and back to Firefox several times. It’s extremely annoying.


P.S. It turns out the seal around our bath has been leaking for some time now, and the flooring under the bath has been seriously damaged by the water, but I’ll talk about that another time.
