I specifically didn't seek out help because of:
- avoidance of going to the doctor
- stubbornness
- doing things on your own if you can builds up grit and ethic

However, I didn't build up certain work ethic. And once I finished my English Major / History Minor I got into a grad program. I finished that grad program (1 year), but the line of work wasn't for me (education field). So then I went to business. Finished my first semester without any medical help, but with about a 68% average. Could've easily done better if I could've concentrated. I'd force myself through my work, loved the work, but it was difficult sitting and focusing.

Now I'm in second semester, had difficulties approaching my work. Following through on what I knew how to do has always been difficult. Sitting and focusing on a sentence, very difficult. All my life, difficult.

So now I tried methylphenidate. It's just okay. So now I'm trying to figure it all out.



Hope so :) Still going at it one dose a day, similar timing.

Thirty-two tabs open for porn, while playing a turn-based game.

Attentional control is a skill we develop as children, just like walking and speaking. Some people don't develop certain skills as strongly, you don't need meds you just need practice

Means to an end, my friend.

ADD/ADHD is a disorder in the frontal lobe of the brain. Just like with any disability, the severity differs in person from person. For some people, building skills and strategies isn't enough. The whole idea behind ADHD medication is that it helps normalize the function of the frontal lobe of the brain, allowing someone with ADD/ADHD to function more normally.

I would love to get a brain scan, and a proper psychiatrist to discuss things... but I'm left with a family doctor (who is helpful), the internet, a family-friend psychologist, and myself... which means I'm uncertain about a lot of things.

I perform well when I do focus. I have a university degree. I have an extremely high IQ.

Seeing a behavioral therapist about my attention deficit. They are trying to fix my sleeping habits and understand why i procrastinate so much. It sounds like they are trying to steer clear of putting me on meds or save as a last resort
