Welcome to the forums, pinkglitter

Thanks :)

suggestions anyone?

Sounds like you have anxiety issues also.

Hmmm...what do you suggest I do? I am having a hard time going to the docs I just dont know what to do I am confused *sigh*

No one can diagnose you but a doctor. I really suggest you go to a psychiatrist because they usually have a fair bit of knowledge on treatment and such.

Read up all you can on it, get lots of information.

Do one of those self tests on ADD on the internet and print it out and take it to the doctor. Bring school reports too.

Write down what symptoms of ADD you notice and how they're impacting your life.

Try find a doctor that's experienced with ADHD. Where abouts do you live? Someone here might be able to find you a list of doctors that specialize in the area.

A psychiatrist ? No way am I going to a psychiatrist.. Ill go see my doctor..but if she says go see a psychiatrist im gonna say no thanks. :S
dit* Also good idea about the test and writing down the syptoms so when she asks me why do u think u are ADHD..ill give her the peice of paper...
Btw how do u said that? Just one letter at a time? ADHD?

psychiatrists who specialize in ADHD are (typically) way more up to date w/ medical information regarding ADHD, which is why chris suggested you see one.

why wouldn't you want to go to one?

Becuz im not crazy
aaaaaaaaaah i dunnno i just dont want to go to one
im not sure why :S

btw no offence to anyone that does go to one

You've got the wrong idea. Plenty of people you consider 'normal' go to a psychiatrists..they're doctors that have lots of experience with using medicine for things like ADD. It has nothing to do with being crazy or not.

I think you should look up ADHD a bit more. You might not even have it.

It's called "hyperkinesia" or "hyperactivity". A lot of ADDers have it. I know that I sure do. My medications control that nicely. I take tenex for my hyperactivity and it works well for that.

If you have not talked to a doctor/psychiatrist about getting your ADHD treated you might find it a good idea to do so.

It's true... a psychiatrist who is well versed in treating adhd will do a far better job of treating ADHD than a general practitioner. This is because the psychiatrist is better trained in understanding adhd and is better trained in terms of the medications used to treat it.

Getting ADHD treated properly can make a big difference and once you do, you won't be spending so much time feeling like you are going to burst just because you need to sit still for a few minutes... :)

I was treated for ADHD by general practitioners for over a year and my issues were not getting addressed. I went to a psychiatrist who specilaized in adhd and she had me straightened out in just 3 months.

Me :D

You might not even have it.I got this wrong idea from my dad...I hear him say it always he tells me i need to go see a psychiatrist:rolleyes: lame i tell yea..NO no I do have ADHD i am 99.9% sure I have all of the symptons...the only two i do not have is...being disorganized..well i can be bu i work hard so that does not happen and im never late whever i go im always on time...also im confident i have adhd becuz in elementary school i use to go into this class with other students every friday and now i realize it was for adhd...however my parents decided to deny the fact that i have adhd....I DO HAVE adhd it all makes sense lol...i finally understand myself..the things i do and why i doit lol really its great
