Does anyone have Adult ADD?

one of my friends have this disorder, he strives to concentrate and remember things. He uses some sort of medication, and it help according to him. But he meets difficulties and misunderstanding of his situation at his workplace and amongst friends. He can be very intense and loud, maybe weird for some people socially, but he can,t help it. So I know you have to work with a lot of things. Keep it up. You will manage better and better I hope. I,m from Norway, but lived in Fort Mill, SOuth Carolina for a year, exchange student. I miss SC. the weather, the people. I really loved it there. Do you know where fort Mill is, it,s next to Rock Hill, close to charlotte, NC. Good luck to you, have a nice day. Tom

Im convinced my bf has this, and it's sooo freakin' annoying.

Thats ashame for you. I dont know anyone with that I know alot of kids who have it. Oh jeez I dont have it and Im starting to forget like crazy. I always kid about it and say Im getting alltimers and I really shouldnt do that. But they say that adarol is very good that. I would have never known that.

I was diagnosed with Adult ADD last year. Just think 43 years old and I got ADD! LOL It is annoying as He**. I forget things, start things and never finish, and got all of these ideas to fix myself but it never works. I make lists of things and forget where I put the lists! LOL I take Staterra. All the rest speeds my heart up. I take this one cuz it doesn't.

i dont have adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but i know many more than expected because i deal with these people.

I have ADHD and I, too, forget everything! I am on Strattera but it doesn't seem to be helping. I still forget stuff. I still have trouble paying attention. I still have all the problems I had before. Plus nowo my stomach hurts all the time!

I don't know about you, but with all of the things that we have going on in our lives today, I often have a hard time remembering things too. I find it very helpful to keep a pen and paper close by, because if I don't write it down, chances are that I will forget it by the end of the day.

Oh it must be very hard for you when you can't remember things that you need to know or if you lost something where to find it. Yes it must be dreadful to suffer from this and maybe you cannot remember what you actually discussed as you will forget.

Hello bicklelady.I saw you on my friends list this morning so i added you to my list...No i don,t know of anyone that has adult ADD but i would be very interested in knowing about it..maybe you could let me know what it is and how it affects you.sometimes we have things we don,t know about..My doctor has me on paxil cause I have mood swings but i don, think any reast were done..I would be very interested in hearing from you about it...Thank you

I really think that my husband has this. He has such a hard time focusing at times. It does get really frustrating because I can say something and then two seconds later he doesn't have a clue what I just said. I know it gets really hard for him at work because alot of times people just don't get how hard it is for him to focus and remember things. It really isn't fun to deal with issues like this. I don't know about you, but with him his brain is just going at warp speed thinking of all these crazy things and he just can't shut it off to concentrate on the task at hand. I know he wishes he could though.

Being a teacher I see a lot of ADD, but I have to admit I don't know too many adults that have it diagnosed. I think most diagnoses happen when they are at school, and since it has only just been recognised globally, this is the reason that it's not noticed in adults so much (but I am sure that more people have it than we know about). My future niece's brother has it. And he is so cute and adorable, but I know that it can be a problem for his mum sometimes when he is being "naughty". I really feel for you, I am totally sympathetic, and it sounds like you are battling a bit. I hope you win your battle too. Love and light to you.
