ADHD or Just Non-Productive?

You don't have a disorder. You have weak attention, and very low willpower.

It's like being fat and unfit - the best way to fix it is to exercise your mind.

Make a conscious effort to cut out one distracting behaviour at a time, and start meditating to build your attention up.

Man the fuck up and get shit done. If it's becoming as bad as you say, setup a hosts file and put all the sites you 'waste time on' on it and tell yourself you won't remove the sites from the hosts file until you get X done.
 


Do you also light candles and listen to fake electronic waterfall noises?

Whatever floats your boat, although that would probably make me need to piss.


Rant: the Pharma companies have done a real coup on ADD/ADHD. There no such fucking thing. It's bad diet, poor self-discipline and too much TV and video games. That's just something they made up to sell you Ritalin. It used to be parents would kick their kids asses when they acted out, now they take them to the doctor.

Normal people will want to believe that every1s mind functions in the same way, simply because they don't experience and can't relate to the crazy shit that goes through a person with ADHD/ADD's brain.

Meditation really helps bring back focus, without the medical bollocks... you should stay away from that. You want to be yourself and not be driven by Adderall's effects on your brain.

Is it really a coincidence that most successful people throughout history had/have ADHD, ADD? I beg to differ..

This sure is one of the best threads I have read for a while.

I don't find myself that difficult to concentrate, but this happens once in a while so this thread ready can help.
 
Struggle with the same thing every day.

However, give me COD or a good poker game and I can concentrate on them for HOURS! So that throws the ADHD right out of the window.

Something that helps me is a solid diet, cutting out most sugars and most importantly getting a lot more sleep (which I hate since I always feel like I'm missing out on SOMETHING - news, games, hussle, whatever).

If I try the meditating thing I tend to fall asleep right away. Go figure.

Oh, working out and breathing a 2-4-2 count system or these: Breathing: Three Exercises - Dr. Weil
 
Today I am suffering from what I call the cursed groggies. My head is too fuzzy to work, yet I can't get any more sleep. I am slurping my third cup of full strength coffee.

Any suggestions on increasing alertness? I have ginkgo and Piracetam in the house, but neither help this problem very much.

Every time you post I get distracted wondering: "who is that guy in her signature that looks like he's been blowing the Tin Man?"

Quit trying to treat symptoms. Deal with the root cause.

What's your diet like?
How much exercise do you do?
Do you get enough sleep?
 
actually ADD is ADHD inattentive type. Everything is ADHD now but people still say ADD because that used to be the term.


ADD VS ADHD
When I was younger and didn't pay attention or acted like a little shit, my parents gave me a good smack and told me to smarten up. Eventually, I learned my lesson and stopped fucking around.

Today, if a kid fidgets or fucks around in class or at home, it's ADHD and they put the kid on Ritalin or Adderral.

The kid certainly can't be a fuck head because his parents suck at teaching discipline. Must be a medical condition. /s
 
Dude... get up one morning at 6 AM and jump on the nearest interstate. Drive in that shit for an hour or more. Go home and reflect on what you could "have to do" to make monies.

PROBLEM SOLVED! Your focus tightens the fuck up, right quick.
 
The united states is the only country that diagnoses ADD & ADHD.
EDIT: it started off in the US only, now its in other countries - but not NEARLY as much as US

Why not any place else?

Kids are active

I dunno about you but you obviously haven't tried adderall or ritalin. Shit makes you a demigod.
