Could it be that since an ADD mind works differently, does that mind has the ability to tap into normally unused parts of the brain? I really do not think I want to be psychic, it's just that the coindences get so common and ridiculous that I sometimes get alittle scared.

Both my mom and my grandmother also question this, but they seem to want to be psychic and it seems as if they are trying hard to look for coincedences.

psychic mabe mabe not Posted 11-2-2002 01:08

Hey I'm 25 I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD few years ago. I am studying medicin. I think we ADDers are more sensitive than other people we have more channels open in the brain at the same time (that's why we can;t focus at one specific thing for a very long time bc there are so many things at one time). I think that our subconsuisness is closer to our feelings than for non ADDers,bc we get so much info at the same time mabe not what we are supose to notise (like what's the topic of the lecture we arre listening to) I think we mabe receve info that we dont know how to synthesize, knowing then mabe more what is happening around uss than the average non ADDer, bc of this.

psychic or sensitive Posted 11-4-2002 11:28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't consider myself to be psychic. I have ADD. I do, however, admit, I have an almost quarky ability to know what is going on, when other people don't have a clue. My intuition comes in very handy. Frankly, I take too many chances, because I simply sense that everything is going to be ok. And when something is going to happen, I generally have a feeling, a warning sensation in me. I've felt, not heard, but felt a presence warning me of impending harm, and guiding me away from it. And I have seen verified information afterwards that there was in fact danger that I averted.

I may get myself into jams, due to my ADD, but generally, an uncanny amount of luck comes my way, to get me out of those jams. For example, the other day, on a Sunday, I was doing a job for a church, and many people were depending on that job getting done that day, or the church festival would be delayed. Ever tried finding an important machine part on a a
Sunday? As soon as the part didn't work, I knew I should have done a test run of the equipment before the important day. I went to discount auto parts...they didn't have it. I was driving past a oil/lube place...and obviously they would not have it. but my daughter, who is ADD too, said "what about that place?" I said "no, they are only a quick oil lubrication shop..they only change oil". I was going to pass it. Then intuition hit me, that maybe they were off the beaten path, and I should take a minute and see, before I say "no". So I did pull in, and the boy there said, "Wait a second, that man over there will know, he's the manager of the auto parts store down the street" I said "I've already been to that store" He said, "Well, no harm in talking to him". I said, "OK". Well, he was indeed the manager of the auto parts store I had just come from, working part time in addition at the quick lube shop. He said he could make me the part I needed. He called the store, ordered some parts for me to be on the counter, had me go get the parts, bring them back to him, and he made me a part that would work in time for the Sunday festival, to get us through the day." He said his staff at the auto parts store would not even know he had those parts in stock!! Instead, I sensed that there was a chance the lube shop might be able to help,even if they don't carry machine parts! So that's what I mean. Good luck, almost freaky things like that, happen all the time. I follow my gut before I follow my logic, and my gut is so often correct! Other people would have followed logic, and would have bypassed the lube place, and the church would still be waiting for their equipment! So us ADDers to have intuition, and it is strong. I agree 100%

I can't "make" it happen. If I could I'd be rich. But I have had a couple of psyhic experiences that could in no way have been coincidental.
Please believe me, I am not crazy. But this is something I've noticed and wonder if it has to do with the unique way our brains are wired.
The few truly psychic messages I've had came to me while I was in a state of, for wont of a better term, relaxed consciousness. In one instance, I was brushing my teeth. In another, I was drifting off to sleep and something just "popped" into my head.
There have been other like times, when I was folding clothes or gardening, etc., when it felt like I was picking up snatches of other people's conversations. I wonder if somehow my brain has become some kind of static receiver. I wonder if I really am "hearing" bits and pieces of the conversations of other people.
I've never confided this to anyone, for obvious reasons, but I wonder if anyone else with ADD has experienced something similar? I never thought there was a link, until today

probability Posted 11-28-2002 17:33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i'm very open minded, maybe some of us are psychic, but let's consider all the possibilities.

A point that hasn't been mention is that maybe because we're less aware of time, some of us are not intuitatively skilled with probability.

[Charliegirl]

I have experienced some strange things. I "saw" a car crash in my mind while walking home from work one day. I shook it off. "What a horrible thing to daydream about!" One block up, and two cars crashed right in front of me.

There are other things. Sometimes it is just a feeling about someone or an even coming up. I know when something isn't quite right, but lack the ability to know just what it is until it is happening.

I've wondered if some of that might be explained by my brain taking in more information than the "normal" person. Maybe I unconsciously heard those cars and "knew" they were going too fast to stop at the stop sign. (Both cars ran stop signs!)

Maybe body language, tone, a look in the eyes, tells me something I'm unaware of.

I can't pick out the details, but my subconscious does?

[unreal33]

I used to think I had some sort of psychic ability... I'd be (as a child) riding in the car, reading a book, and the exact word I was reading was being said aloud in conversation by my parents. And there were other weird coincidences... like waking up singing a song in my head... turn on the radio, and there's the song, right in the spot I left off singing.

However, over time I've come to believe that this is more an intuition/sensitivity issue. I honestly believe I see things more intuitively than many people around me, and while I don't do as well with actual empirical data or facts, I can sense trends, hunches, and analyze complex personal relationships much better than my colleagues or friends. I tend to also notice things they would never think to notice.

I think my earlier childhood experiences were coincidence... and "synchronicity". After all, when you think about it... if a billion thoughts go through your head every day, eventually SOME of them are going to be related to something you experience later that day, one way or another.

SO... as far as psychic ability goes, I don't think I am. That dude John Edward on Crossing Over kinda creeps me out, though... he's uncanny! I'd believe it if you told me HE was really psychic.

[sixes]

I am not physic, but i do see and feel spirits. It used to freak me out. But, now as long as they leave me alone. I am ok. I do have 1 spirit who is an oldman who follows me everywhere. I do not know who he is but, think it may be my grandfather. I never met him. I hear him walking around my apt sometimes and he sits at the end of my bed on occasion. Freaky, but true.

[Charliegirl]

You are referring to "The Indigo Children"(I think). I have read excerpts from the book on Amazon.Com. The idea is that we are actually extraordinarily gifted, but we lack instruction. That kind of spiritualism is scoffed at in today's society. I'm not sure if the book gives any reliable guidance at all, but it does look very interesting!

That may explain my interest in tarot and meditation! I was raised in a strict Christian home, but was always drawn to metaphysical ideas. My mother gets "feelings" about people and sometimes foresees events happening in their lives. She believes it is a direct vision from God, but I have to wonder if it isn't a talent God gave to her at birth. She went to my evaluation for ADD with me, to support me and to tell him what I was like as a child. After talking with her for a little while, the doctor says she is most definitely ADD (so much for not turning into my mother... .

My Grandmother had strange abilities as well from what I have heard. With so much evidence pointing to ADD being genetic, I wouldn't be surprised if she had this "disorder".

How about intuitive.

Did I spell that right?

[misclee]

Definitely. I think we are just more sensitive to everything in general. Anyone else ever hear their name or see shadows? What about ghosts?

Actually, you're probably referring to the foreword to Thom Hartmann's book, where he claims/says he was on a train in India, and talking to two Indian (not Native American) people, who he described ADD symptoms to... and who he then says told him that they call people like that "Old Souls", meaning they've seen many past lives.

The story's a bit suspect, I think, but it's a good story anyway.
