Hi,

IM CONFUSED!! I'm confused between whether I'm the most easily bored person on the face of the earth, my highly creative mind has taken over my body in a negitive way, my mom's patterns have gottin to me or I HAVE ADD.

For my whole life I was the biggest daydreamer u'd ever wanna no :eek: .
I can even remember @ the age of 3 art of seeing things that are not infront of u but in ur momery very CALIBUNGA DUDE!! And this was ontop of me being xtremely quiet. I felt a big disconnect from me and my environment. There were even adults that said to my parents that I should get an EEG done as well as meds.

As I got in2 elementary the condition became even worse. With all the special ed I went through @ the time made work so e-z it wuz BORRRRRING! And of course as we all no wen ur bored u zone out. And with all this zoning out it made it very difficult to start or maintain friendships.

As I progressed in2 my middle and high skul years I began trying experiments to try and stimulate me enough to "snap outt of it".
I over dosed on pills. I tryed to get in2 drugs. I even had sex! Then I realised that I should probebly tone it down get rid of "the cloud 9" dream by participating more in class, joining clubs, and trying 2 attend parties. And I think I even tryed meditation too. And with all that it still didnt work.

Someone recommended that I should try and go on a lo carb high protien diet. It did help just a wee bit but it really didnt do the job. She also recommended that I go on meds. And after being on it for like 4 - 5 weex it really didnt do much.

So as a question 2 all WUT THE HELL IS WRONG W/ ME!!!! :eek: :eek:

You should see a professional... psychiatrist, psychologist, neurologist, or a knowledgeable GP physician, to get evaluated for ADD. Sounds like you might have it, but "might" is about all anyone can say without seeing you. Lots of conditions have similar symptoms to ADD.

Good luck.
