Who else here has ADD

[dog24fret]

Well that's because customizing a truck or w/e is something you actually enjoy compared to doing say boring as school work or something that doesn't peak your interest. That's normal, not ADD/ADHD. Like I said, no disrespect at all to anybody but I feel ADD is a bunch of bullshit. You can't stay focused so they give you a bunch of drugs which make you feel like crap. That doesn't really seem smart at all, just money hungry pharmaceutical companies trying to get rich.

When it gets bad enough people can't stand to be around you then it is something real. to each his own. My meds make me feel better and more focused.

Lol or when you reach the point you can't stand yourself. You can't walk away from yourself. My son after the right dose was found it helped him to focus better.

Yep exactly. haha im glad to find out others on here have it. I've always been kind of embarrassed of it

Here is the problem with the ADD diagnosis. "3 out of 5 people have it" which is BS. Being supposedly diagnosed with ADD when I was in 6th grade and then never again after that. I think a lot of diagnoses are wrong. I think ADD drugs for most kids, not all has become a way for parents to not be more involved these days. We have become a society of people who believe drugs are the fix for everything. There are some of people out there who are truly ADD and need the support of drugs, but 3 out of 5 is BS.

When your always put down for having problems it is. Exspecialy when some look down on you. They don't realize everyone has some form of it. They just don't have a serious form.

True! For my son we travel 150-300 miles a month for his doctor opointments which is for more than ADD. These docs are good they try to keep from meds if they can. So I really can't stand too see parents who don't want to be evolved more. It's hard but it's worth it to see them overcome a struggle and see they can succeed. Those parents should be horse whipped in my opinon.

yeah man, its a serious thing in my opinion. I used to get in screaming fights with my dad almost every day. Got on meds and I calmed right down. My dad is a huge part of my life now and it hurts to say this, but before I couldnt stand to be around him. I love him to death.

this for what id say is 99.99% of the people that supposedly have "ADD" are really just lazy. If you really had it you would know it for 100% and so would every person you ever came in contact with.

All of my friends think I have it lol.

I also find myself being kinda OCD, and my friends/coworkers notice it too.

It might be because of the other two, but I seem to get occasional spells of depression, maybe not manic but I don't know. because sometimes I can't concentrate or think what I'm doing or what I am isn't good enough.

I've never been to an psychiatric evaluator but sometimes think I probably should. I sometimes feel like going to one validates that I have issues, and brings on that depression.

I was diagnosed with ADD back in high school, like, 8 years ago when i was 15....then i ended up having bad social anxiety it turned out, and now i take my xanax, and don't take my adderall, and I'm doing the best I've ever done in school. Seems like my anxiety was what really made it hard for me to focus and pay attention. But when i got some shit to do, i go grab my bottle of add meds.

[big dee]

I got a few different issues lol
