I kinda have the opposite of ADD. I have a hyper-focused disorder, where if there's a given task in front of me I really concentrate on that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've got rid of the ADD, but I do find it hard to concentrate sometimes.
Most people would focus on concentrating more, and I can't do that. It almost makes me overthink a lot of my things. I have to focus on not thinking.
I actually thrive on all the challenges, and I don't feel like ADD has impaired my ability.
I was diagnosed with ADD - see also: raised on sugary cereals and cartoons - and manic depression. So I was prescribed Ritalin for the ADD, and for the manic imbalances I was prescribed mostly benzodiazepines, which I loved, and antidepressants.
I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
I just try to concentrate on concentrating.
I have severe ADD, and I'm constantly looking to amuse myself.
I have ADD. I can't pay attention to one thing too long.
I do have ADD and in real life, I'm all over the place and can hardly focus. If we were talking for, for more than an hour or so, I'd start drifting off... I can't sit still too long.
That's the problem with ADHD: I have no focus; I get bored.
