CDHD

Creative deficit hyperactivity disorder (CDHD or CD/HD) is a disorder primarily characterized by the co-existence of crafting attentional problems, including the inability to focus on any one craft, and craft hyperactivity with each behaviour occurring infrequently alone.

While symptoms may appear to be innocent and merely annoying nuisances to observers, if left untreated, the persistent and pervasive effects of CDHD symptoms can insidiously and severely interfere with one's ability to get the most out of crafting opportunities, fulfill one's potential in the workplace and home, establish and maintain interpersonal relationships (family WILL become cranky about the volume of supplies and amount of time spent with said supplies rather than family members), and maintain a generally positive sense of self (sufferer are prone to suffering anxiety regarding the inability to complete all items on 'the list').

Definition as adapted from here

Well Carmel got the ball rolling - posting her almost impossible to accomplish list of the CDHD sufferer - so I felt it only fair to follow suit!!

I had just revised mine yesterday so timing was good - except that it means there are not many red 'cross outs' yet!


My list is not too bad when you consider that this second page is not things that need to be done by Christmas, it's largely clothes for the girls - the kinder stuff even includes some things they won't need until the cooler months.


Of course there are things I know I have left off - such as the Make it Perfect Uptown Girl jacket that I want to make for Miss G, and the beach throw-overs that I want to make for all three girls and maybe myself....
Oh dear - it really is never-ending!

CDHD - are you a sufferer???
(waiver - please note this post is no way meant to make light of the serious condition known of ADHD)
