Can't get shit done

Why is it when you are in a state of mania you can't remember shit. Like when you are in the middle of unloading the dishwasher and next thing you know you are downloading music. You forgot what you were supposed to be doing leaving all drawers, cabinets, and the dishwasher open. You even forgot what music sent you on your sideways rampage and now are sitting on the computer wandering around aimlessly trying to remember what you were looking for. 2 hours later you walk into the kitchen and remember "Oh yeah I was doing shit" This drives my boyfriend crazy and he can't understand why I can't seem to close the cabinet doors. He has something called Attention Surplus Disorder.

Even right now I am supposed to be doing work. I went to the grocery store and walked around for 20 minutes trying to remember what I was there for which was supposed to be a 5 minute milk run. Shit shit shit.

I was fucked at conception because both my parents are A.D.D. with all the classic symptoms. I have come to think I might really be Bipolar but my symptoms are really mild and definitely not worth medicating. Normally I am completely OK, with the majority of my depression translating into a mediocre feeling and lack of motivation. I can even somewhat manage staying on task to unload the dishwasher if I consciously walk through each step. I have this conversation with myself "Ok you are done unloading the silverware. Shut the drawer. Now unload the cups, ok shut the cabinet, ok you are done with the dishwasher close the door." I guess I should just be happy I am mentally stable for the most part.

Oh yeah this is what I was doing:
