Cant sit still or concentrate

[BCdude]

Ok this is a bit of a rant more than anything but lately I just cant seem to sit still and concentrate on anything. For instance, I was over at my family's for thanksgiving dinner and every so often I would get up to stretch or walk around. Then after the dinner, rather than stay and visit I felt the urge to go home and study, and I even walked home. I swear my family must have thought I was on speed.

Speaking of studying, that is what I should be doing right now but once I sit down in front of the computer I immediately get distracted and either surf the net or play games. My exam is in two days and although I feel I am somewhat prepared for it, I need to keep the concepts fresh in my mind. So why not turn off my computer? Because my exam is based on what is on my computer (windows XP to be exact).

Its not just reading that I have a problem with. Lately I cant watch TV for more than 15 minutes before I go and wander off to either go on my computer, shortly after which I go to watch TV again. Now normally I do have problems concentrating on anything but I at least can hold interest for a period of time. Lately though it seems I cant hold an interest in anything for more than a few minutes. When I think about it now this is the worst I have been in ages.

On a side note, a couple of weeks ago I did see a doctor about my ADD and he said he would refer me to a psychiatrist who knows about ADD and would help me with the treatment. Unfortunately from the looks of it I am looking at a long wait until I see him, much less have him call me to book an appointment. I am thinking of going to a naturopath in the meantime

Go to a general meds doc.Thats what I did,I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I was constantly waiting on someone to call back,book appointment or even perscribe me meds!I was sick of it.In the meantime I was absolutely miserable.Every minute,second was worse than the first!
I kept thinking to myself,boy Im really lucky I have kids or I would go on a binger and just burn out!
Everything changed when I saw my M.d.He immediately medicated me which aleviated the problem so I could focus on what I needed to work on myself.

Its like,you cant see how big the burn is till you put out the fire.
