I work with blueprints and details. I generate shop drawings from a mess of seperate pages, details, schedules, and notes. When I am on, I am very good at what I do. I can in a short time see the structures in my mind and have a plan to go about my work.
For about 3 months now, that ability has all but disappeared. I struggle to relate details together and soon forget when I do, having to reread several times over. I can't come up with a plan and I don't know where to start.
I have been diagnosed ADD recently, but I don't understand what could bring this on because I have been doing work in this field my entire life and doing this specific work (Computer Aided Drafting) for about 8 years without this problem.
PS. It's not burnout, I know that feeling. My docs know about this too, but she won't treat my ADD. She says the mood disorder is more important to get straight first. Just hope I can keep my job.
