Re: Coping with ADD
[ QUOTE ]
I was "officially" diagnosed with ADD with a lot of the symptoms matching up with mine: Inability to keep things clean, unable to prioritize tasks, procrastination, wandering mind, blah blah blah.
We all deal with problems of some sort. I don't see these are being symptoms of a mental/psychological "mis-wiring." I dropped out of college because I'm an idiot and didn't dedicate myself, not because I have ADD.
It really pisses me off that some people choose to hide behind the diagnosis. Everyone deals with someone that is as bad or worse.

Whether you believe that I am hiding behind a diagnosis or not is irrelevant. What is important (to me anyway) is that I feel better about myself and I am better equipped to deal with my problems. Maybe ADD is just a bunch of psychobabble or maybe I have been misdiagnosed. Since accepting my condition my life has been better, without the aid of drugs, so I am going to keep at it.
