most of the time i find myself just biting my nails a whole bunch

[more heart]

I get a little restless in most of my classes

[brandnew=love]

most of the time i find myself just biting my nails a whole bunch
I used to do that alllll the time... nasty habit.

rumors? lol sounds aesome...

hmm... I do find that when I'm watching tv, I can't sit still for too very long.

[StrangerDanger]

While brushing my teeth, I was looking at a light in the bathroom with a fly buzzing around inside of it. I was thinking "How sad is it that something with a mind so simple can be so disoriented by the light as a distraction?" While looking, I started to walk out and ran into an open drawer that I didn't see because I was looking up.
ow?

[wewascontenders]

i told my friends mom i had adhd so she would give me some adderall.

[Hermux-Tantamoq]

[BJW7191]

Send all your amphetamines my way, please.


i would love some addy

great stuff

[robat19]

I think I have a small, small amount of ADD.

[BJW7191]

i bet you have alot more than just a little

[robat19]

Meh, it just pisses me off and distracts me when people make annoying noises.

[BJW7191]

thats a pet peeve... not add

[robat19]

I can't focus when they do it.

[robat19]

I bite my nails, but I don't consider that ADD. More of a habit/anxiety.

hahaha lucky! mine used to look so ugly... I did that til I was 9 maybe? But my hands and nails would still get all messed in hs, so some girls would always work on making them look nice... kinda miss that.

that's odd... sometimes I'll be watching something and like something else will catch my eye and like 10 minutes later, I barely remember about the movie.

I'm alright... alittle sleepy and hearing steel train. and you?

[BJW7191]

its kinda the fact that i have trouble sitting still... its like a vice in a way to get past sitting still

Lol, well I don't really care about the nails... I just care about the attention... like this one girl would do them every week... I almost wanted to mess them up more to get the treatment done more often.

odd. I do agree about like certain noises not allowing you to concentrate... hate that.

Sucks... aren't you almost done for the night though?

[BJW7191]

yeah i got like 1:15 left

but we were just super busy for 3 hours or so

no i meant an hour fifteen minutes left

im still super add

i had stomach thing you dont want to know about and i had fever and such it was just really bad

[Brooklyn2010]

When I was younger, I used to tell my mom "Ahhhh make it stop!" And she'd say "Make what stop?" And my reply was always
"There are too many voices talking at once in my head!" I also am easily frustrated by annoyingly loud noises, so much that I avoid lots of restaurants and movie theaters. And I can read pages and pages, and my mind is no where in the book.

ADD? I've done tests and they say I have it but meh :shrug:

I thought about posting that and then saying ADD, or crazy? but I forgot! I was young and didn't know how to say that I was thinking a million different things. I hope.... :-(

[raychull]

I get distracted really easily, but I know I don't have ADD. or if I do, it's a bunch of crap.

[Kassie09]

I don't have ADD but I am often hyper and i bite the skin around my nails. eww! I also jump around from topic to unrelated topic in my conversations.

[raychull]

and i bite the skin around my nails. eww! I also jump around from topic to unrelated topic in my conversations.

me too, but that's usually whenever I'm anxious. I don't really realize I'm doing it until after the fact.

I get distracted in conversations a lot, and go on tangents. And if I'm having an in person conversation with my friends, if I forget what I'm talking about, or see something that grabs my attention, it's a lost cause.

[BJW7191]

i bite the calluses on my fingers from playing guitar alot too instead of biting my nails

[softcoeur]

not really ADD, but tugging on my earlobes and sniffling are my two nervous tics. i really can't control it.

[brandnew=love]

i bite the calluses on my fingers from playing guitar alot too instead of biting my nails
Doesn't that hurt? That's why I try to use picks whenever I can.

[BJW7191]

no like from pressing the strings.. it doesnt hurt... its nothing painful

[Brooklyn2010]

Driving + ADD = baaaad combo.

[brandnew=love]

no like from pressing the strings.. it doesnt hurt... its nothing painful
No, I know that haha... I meant biting them.

[BJW7191]

I'm pretty sure it is... but I think you can also get it from damage during pregnancy.

there's a genetic link in some cases, but not in others, plus there's a lot of gray area, symptomwise, when it's diagnosed. it's still pretty mysterious at this point, sort of like autism.

[BJW7191]

(state youre in plates dont count)

Annoying sounds distract everyone - even me, to the point where I can't stand it but the last thing I have is ADD or ADHD. I'm so sick of people self-diagnosing themselves with this shit like its cool to have a chemical imbalance or something.

"I run off prescription drugs."
"Cool, I wish I did... better pretend to have ADD"
fail.

[BJW7191]

ive had 3 ipod players for my car... all sucked and ill never trust another one

the problem isn't so much people self-diagnosing, it's doctors overmedicating people based on BS 'symptoms' for the kickbacks from big pharma companies. awful.

Nothing like that happens here. I know maybe 2 people who actually suffer from anything like this. But when I come on here I see kids talking about taking drugs and loving it for their "ADD" its really a bad thing happening IMO.

[Brooklyn2010]

I should, just :shrug: I usually am focused when I drive, unless people start talking.
Oh :hitself: I only do that while riding. I don't think I could focus on both driving and on this game.

This.

[iAMhollyood315]

for those who take adderall for ADD the stuff works phenomenal however its very dangerous and causes problems i went from a 1.7 gpa to a 3.8 and it got me to where i stopped and could still achieve the same results by having a work regimen. the only thing was i abruptly stopped adderall every day to get off of it in the summer and i dont know what happened but i had the most insane surreal panic attacks. it was like a constant strong panic feeling that lasted months and i ended up in the hospital thinking i was dying. im almost sure it was from the adderall. i eventually got better without medicine. as my body adjusted back to normal but fuck was that scary! i still have some stress and anxiety ever since i went through that.

[softcoeur]

it really is - it's so stupid. and really dangerous, since antidepressants/ADD meds affect your brain chemistry whether you need them or not.

[brandnew=love]

Oh :hitself: I only do that while riding. I don't think I could focus on both driving and on this game.
hahaha good thinking! sorry, my bad! I hate people talking whil I drive.

[Brooklyn2010]

hahaha good thinking! sorry, my bad! I hate people talking whil I drive.
Nah I didn't clarify! Really? Talking in general, or talking to you?

[brandnew=love]

Nah I didn't clarify! Really? Talking in general, or talking to you?
Well especially talking to me... but I guess it depsends what people are talking about as well. :shrug:

If you have no other symptoms, fine it's not ADD, but if you do :shrug:

This.

You are aware that most people with ADD are toddlers when they're diagnosed right? Meaning these kids are just acting like kids... but their crazy parents freak out because a doctor says its "abnormal" behavior, then they stick the kid on 500mg of pills a day, resulting in them ACTUALLY being fucked up later on in life.

it really is - it's so stupid. and really dangerous, since antidepressants/ADD meds affect your brain chemistry whether you need them or not.

Agree 1,000,000%. I work at a children's camp in the summer and there are kids who acts nuts constantly, but would I tell their parents its something of concern? NO. They're fuckin' children!!!

I work at a kids' camp during summer too!

and I agree, sticking people on meds really isn't the solution for that. a lot of them stop working after a week and have crappy side effects.

[BJW7191]

i think the meds should be taken when youre older/maturer
