PDA

View Full Version : Is this ADHD

I cant sit still even if i try my foot will tap real fast. I always pace my living room and im not stressed.
But my biggest problem is I think to much. I dream all the time except when I sleep. When no ones around im lost in my head. The real problem is when im around people and as they talk to me i start to drift off. Ive even done it during sex.
I can meet women and I find new friends easy but Ive never had either for long periods of time. Theyve always reffered to me as crazy.
Ive tried meditation tricks (repeating a word with no meaning in ur head or out loud) and it helps but its exausting but it works a lil. The only thing that makes me somewat normal is drinking, when im tipsy its real easy for me to focus and almost impossible to daydream even if i try. But alcholism runs in my family and ive notice im startin to crave it so cant do that as much.

I did a search on daydreaming a few days ago and found out about ADHD. I bought some gnc stuff with dmae and dha and it helps I can stay calm but it realy only lasted and hour or two and i still had to use my meditation trick but that was my first time taking it and I didnt buy any liqour when i went to the liqour store so im feeling hopefully.

Is excessive daydreaming ADHD or do i have somethin else or am I slowly going crazy the older i get?
And is there anything better than this Focus Formula i got at GNC?
I read about Listol but I dont wanna buy off the internet. Also heard of bCalmed or somethin like that but i havnt seen it in stores.

And I also wont dream or remember dreaming(people say everyone dreams but i have my doubts) unless I drink or meditate awake all day, pretty much if i dont day dream I remember dreaming at nite(and wake up rested instead of feeling like i got 3 hours of sleep).

Ive had this problem since I can remember which isnt much figured it was normal for being a kid, teen or young adult. But not until I decided that day dreaming all the time is bad and tryed to control it that i found out I cant.
Is this ADHD?
Sorry if this doesnt make since im not good at putn thought to paper.

Hi!
It sounds to me like you could have ADD. You need to go see a doctor and tell them all this! they will obviously be able to help more than me but I daydream a lot too, or did. I did more before taking Concerta. It's the best medication right now I think although I might have to increase the doseage just a little. Yeah I know what you mean about the people talking to you and drifting off thing. It happens to me a lot! so embarrassing! sometimes my fiance even is talking to me and i space out. I don't mean to! i love him and want to hear what he has to say but it happens especiallywhen my medication wears out for the day or before i started taking it it was real bad. I know what you mean about the drinking! trust me! alcoholism runs in my family too! my parents dont but my relatives have in the past. It is so hard not to turn to drinking though. I always feel better when I do but am trying only to drink like once a week now. although it would be easy to do it every day. I just have to have self control. Personally, I think you should use Concerta or any other medication like straterra or adderall although i dont know much about those. But try using Concerta. The effects last up to 12 hours from one doseage you take in the morning! it's awesome! Anyway good luck with this! hope you get it all sorted out! I'd definitely see a doctor soon though!! And...ask about concerta :) It just may be the right medicine for you.

Dear Coun,

I don't know if what you have is ADD or not. ADD is a medical diagnosis, and a tricky one at that, so you need to consult with a knowledgeable physician or psychiatrist to receive a diagnosis. :wave:

Your symptoms sound much like mine. I'm a 41 year old public schoolteacher, musician, former actor and model, and writer. I've appeared in several Broadway musicals, written a few books of published poetry, play the guitar. So being diagnosed doesn't make you bad or inferior. Sometimes it makes you better. :angel:

People like ourselves need to find outlets for our talents. We are creative but sensitive, so you need to have the right attitude and surround yourself with understanding people who can help you, rather than going the medical route and being inundated with doctors and drugs and therapies. :nono:

It's taken me many years to accept who and what I am, but the struggle has given me strength and peace of mind. :rolleyes:

Whatever else you do, remember-you do not have a disease or an illness-you have a wonderful gift. Find a way to put it to use and bring happiness and joy to you life and the lives of others.

Marc :jester:
