I've been living with ADHD since I was very young, possibly since birth. I wasn't diagnosised till about age 6 or 7. I've been on different medications and tried different tactics to keep it under control. I'm 20 now and it's worked for the most part. I'm on a medication that helps hugely, and while I still have struggles it's not as hard as it would be without the medication.

I'm just kind of curious about something I've noticed with my ADHD. I've had fluxuations of high and low symptoms and difficulty. I'll be fine for 3 or 4 months, sometimes up to a year, then suddenly my symptoms and Read More »

I am a young adult with 2 jobs in completely opposite. I am a millworker by day (40hr/week) and a jr web developer/programer by night (20-30hr/week).

I have always been easily side tracked and have a wandering mind ect which can affect my performance. On days that I go straight from one job to the other, I also have a hard time switching gears and getting into/staying productive at my desk job after a day of screaming saws and wood slinging.

First of all, when I have an assignment or a test to study, I always end up on my laptop and I tell myself that I will study after this, but I end up wasting hours and the next day I rush to finish it. I have joined an honours-type school and my major procrastination is the reason for my percentages dropping. I also write down notes really fast because I'm afraid of forgetting what the teacher has just said. I always tap my fingernails on something when someone is talking, or if I'm waiting for something. I'm not impatient, but I get easily frustrated when I'm tutoring someone. I do daydream Read More »

I have always had a really hard time with sleep but it seems like its been getting worse. It goes in cycles where every 1 1/2-2 months or so I will stay up for like 4 days in row and yet still be fine energy wise the next day. I have ADHD and have been on the same meds for a long, long time (Adderall, Abilify and Wellbutrin) so I know its not the medications. I also take Melatonin which usually works fine for sleep except during that really bad time period which I'm in right now. Does anyone know why this happens or what I can do about it? Read More »

Hi,

I have taken a test for ADD/ADHD on this site (psychcentral.com). I have a score of 102 and it means that the problem is very serious. I also understand that this single test is not enough to judge whether I really suffer from this. But looking at the problems I am facing in my life, somehow I feel I suffer. I would like to consult a doctor. How do I approach him? Should I just tell him that I have problems related to focus, attention and remembering? or should I directly tell him that I might be suffering from ADD/ADHD? Kindly Advice me. Thanks a lot in advance Read More »
