sick of fighting ADD

Post Reply New Topic

i'm just tired of fighting and failing and failing and fighting i've tried to make a comic that i can turn into something big, something i could work hard on and be proud of myself for doing. i've tried this for so long and ran into brick walls everytime and i'm tired of it. this whole stressing over comics has held back torch 2 and i don't like that.

i'm not fighting anymore i'm done.

Instead of fighting it go with it. Go with the flow.

Giving up is never a solution but sometimes you do have to cut your losses.

If it was me I wouldnt quit entirely.. Id just set it aside and try again another day.

Your probably just more burnt out on it than really defeated dont forget that.

how can i go with the flow when there is no flow to follow everytime i stop fighting my life becomes less of a life in short i don't get anything done, my focus ability is that of a dead man the only things i can do are play games and listen to music and that doesn't require to much consentration well not for me.

Ever tried meditation? I found it helped me improve my ability to focus a lot.

Once you learn to intentionally stop thinking, filtering out the mental "noise" and concentrating becomes much easier.

Just an idea your milage may vary.

there's one problem with that my brain does not stop thinking even after 3 days of no sleep, and believe me i've gone 3 days without sleep i felt like i had the flu but i did manage to make it night to go back to sleep, but even though my brain could not function exactly right i still had thoughts whirling through my head.

the only thing that gives me peace of mind is extreme pain or seditives.

As far as I know stimulants are the only thing that can help ADD. Have you tried
them? I know what you mean I was working on a c++ program that would be the
next killer app but all it did was nearily kill me Oh I have not used stimulants but
I got a strange feeling that program would get finished if I did.

i think stimulants would only raise my anzity and i've got enough of that.

and i think coffee is a stmulat but all it does make my stomach upset.

Many people with ADD have a paradoxical reaction to stimulants. They can take
it at night as a sleep aid! No caffiene is not CNS selective enough. At the dose
caffeine treats ADD your heart will pound to the point of danger.

Real stimulants like dextroamphetamine are FDA approved for ADD.

Something similar to what was happening to Jetfox but was happening to me. Which is highly recommended for treating this? Simulants such as caffeine or meditation??

I read a ADD/ADHD forum site and I have decide that dextroamphetamine is the
best drug available for ADD. In a big city like Boston you could easily find a doctor.
Phone and ask do they treat adult ADHD. If they say yes get some prices.

They will likely get you to try some non-stimulants first:
Wellbutrin , Strattera , Provigal

Then Dirty stimulants:
Ritalin , Adderall

Over many months trying differnet doses and brands.

And finalily they will let you use a clean stimulant like dexedrine (dextroamphetamine).

Wonder how they figured that out.. "Hey this kid is too hyper lets give him stimulants and see if he jumps out a window or has a heart attack! Muahahaha"?

In any case using amphetamines in my mind should only be a last ditch effort after everything else fails. Its hard to get a prescription for because while to the ADD brain it may act as a sedative to the rest of the body its still a strong stimulant and can cause damage if used for a long time.

Your more likely to be hit by lighting than have a heart attack from rx stimulants.

The good thing is if a kid is just hyper there are some good non-stimulant choices.
Guanfacine: this drug even lowwers blood pressure.

If a person has inattention then stimulants are likely the only option.
(a few people respond to non-stimulants like wellbutrin)

Stimulant also help with hyperactivity and many people have the combined type
ADHD-H (hyperactivity)and ADHD-I (inattentive) thus why stimulants are usually
used.

Again the topic is adult inattentive ADD in my opinion the only treatment is
stimulants and the best stimulant is dextroamphetamine. The poster wanted
help and I gave the only help I have.
