ADD Question

[spacemountain]

I am almost positive I have ADD- the inattentive type. I have never been to a doctor and had it officially diagnosed but I have almost every symptom and when I read descriptions I feel like they are describing me. The problem is, I don't want to go to the doctor or tell anyone else about it. I have overcome depression twice by myself without any medicine or counseling or anything like that. So I was wondering if anyone who has been through it has any ideas or suggestions for helping me overcome this on my own? Thank you.

ADD is a chemical imbalance. You can choose to self medicate with caffine or just learn to cope with it and use it to your advantage.

I have adult ADD and I've been able to use it to multi-task like no tomorrow. But it is a constant struggle to focus on one thing when I have to.

While depression can come and go ADD is forever. There is no true "overcomming" it.

I know what mean WatchinCaptknangaroo. I got it to. I can mutitasking like tomorrow. But try do one thing that will not hold my attention at all. AHDD to. You can give me caffine and chocolcate together I will bounce off the walls.

I don't take meds for AHDD. I just avoid whats makes hperactive. The way I handle my ADD is muitasking like crazy.

My boss have learned at work give me 10 different things at one time do and I will be fine get all my work done. But give me one thing it will never get done.

Right now working on the computer, reading the newspaer, and watching TV.
