ADD

I have it. Felt like sharing. Got diagnosed today.

ADD is over diagnosed. Is it ruining your life? Is it causing a serious problem? Is it serverly causing a disability for you? NOPE!


sorry, feel like bein a bitch today. missed my period =X

I think every single person has ADD, it just depends how you handle it, some can focus in on things more-so, others that just let it take advantage of them fall to its effects.

Another overly diagnosed disease. This one even gives parents a nice medical excuse for when they can't keep their kids in line. Bust their ass and tell them to sit down. Case closed.

I don't deny that it's overdiagnosed, at all. I, however, believe that I actually do have it. It's had serious effects on my life and I didn't realize until recently that it's actually been ADD all along. I show almost every single symptom.

The irony is you can probably find posts by me arguing that ADD is not only overly diagnosed, but might actually be completely fictional. Either way, I'm 99% sure I've got it, and hopefully medication will help.

some can focus in on things more-so

I would say that these people don't have ADD.

I'm lazy, unorganized, unfocused, I can't concentrate on anything, I'm scatterbrained, I'm constantly losing things, etc. I've even noticed it having pretty severe effects on my ability to write long posts that make sense. My thoughts are so scattered that I have a hard time debating or writing long things of any sort.

Also, I've noticed my problems getting worse as I've gotten older. I think this is because I have a lot more stuff to deal with, since I'm now working full time and going to school 1/2-3/4 time.

I have always had a hard time in school, since Kindergarten. I was always fidgetting, never doing my homework because I never though to do it when I got home. When I got home I would just run and do something. Middle school was probably where It affected me more, Simply because I never really did anything, Just enough to pass. I'm glad I'm finally graduated, however, college will be a bitch.

That's scary..... that describes me........ I have ADD too.

I would say that these people don't have ADD.

I've learned for the most part how to efficiently cope with mine, though, I still have ADHD outbursts. But it can be controlled and maintained without medication, I feel.

I think I have self-induced ADD.

Congratulations, Katie.

Haha, what's the baby's name?

Is it ruining your life? Is it causing a serious problem? Is it serverly causing a disability for you?

Yes, to an extent. I wouldn't necessarily say it's RUINING MY LIFE ZOMG, but it has severely impacted the quality of my life so far and has held me back quite a bit.

I have ADD as well, I can't hardly focus on anything, got fired from my first two jobs because of it. I would get started on say, dishes or something, and just stop doing it and go do someting completely unrelated. And the other job was at a country club. Easy as hell job, yet got fired for basically the same reason.
