wait till high level college classes that youre interested in happen. Youre just in bullshit now. ADD isnt a disease its an excuse for a shitty educational system.

It seems like you're just like everybody else inertia. With that said, there are several "cosmetic mind enhancing pharmaeucuticals" out there. Although, at first just try to organize things in your life. Get your priorities and agenda worked out exactly how you feel or think they should be. A schedule, calendar or a PDA might help.

normally, i'd agree with you Orbax, and i think i still do. what did catch my attention, however, is my quite severe memory loss "episodes". i'll catch up to myself in no time as soon as i got something to hold back onto, but reading as people with ADD suffer from this, well, it just caught me.

if i do have it, i'm pretty sure it's to a very small degree, but i'm just curious (and a bit... frightened, for lack of a better word).

however, i have found not all 'people with ADD' are just bullshitting. for instance, adult ADD is the new craze, but there probably are a couple of them with a geniune problem.

i know organizing my life would help in many aspects, hell, when i used to be organized, i was a straight A student and all that jazz, but i've proved that even though i'm B average, i can manage A's without much toruble and 're-organization' either. but that's not it. it's the losing track of time for large periods (sometimes) and the memory loss that have brought me to question this.

keep it comin'.

Back when we were younger, there was no such thing as ADHD. If you didn't pay attention, you got disciplined until you did. Parents now are too lazy to properly raise and account for their childrens behaviour and too afraid to even think of disciplining them because that's, *cough*, 'bad parenting', so they just try and deal with it by slipping their kids some pills.

both my little brother and my older sister used to be on ritalin...personally i think it's just bullshit too. and now they have "adult ADD"...what a crock...it's just people need an excuse to be unproductive. i mean shit...i have a lot of problems focusing sometimes too, especially with TA around hahaha , but that doesn't mean i need drugs to cure some chemical imbalance...it just means i'm a procrastinating bastard...

There's no such thing man, it's just a scam to get you hooked on drugs.

Plenty of people have trouble concentrating on shit that isn't interesting to them. That's not a disease, it's being normal. You either overcome it with good old-fashioned self-discipline or you don't.

that's right, plus that's not really what ADD/ADHD is. those are 'symptoms', yes, but ADD is really seeking an optimal level of stimulation from the environment. normally we don't fulfill that in class or sitting around or reading, so we do tap our feet or use our pencils as drumsticks. but that's just it. i'm sure you don't poke people or get up and run around or start yelling to someone beside you to entertain you in the middle of an answer. you're alright. just trick yourself into focusing. i think what you lack is interest.

ADD IS real. It is considered a learning disability, and is horribly misdiagnosed for parents looking for a quick fix. It takes 6 months to a year of testing to determine if a person has ADD. What causes it is lack of glucose entering the activation reticulum in the brain. There are 3 kinds of ADD, inattention, hyperactivity, and uhh, the other one I can't remember. I have ADHD. I NEVER took ritalin, my parents wouldn't hear of it. They gave me a book and said "figure it out". I learned to deal with it, and to be honest, I consider myself lucky I have it. I think faster than most people and can multitask like a mofo, my doctors thought it was part of the reason I was so smart. I wrote a paper on this subject in my first year of college. I got an A.
