Default Beat: Just found out I have ADD

I should have figured I had that. I have never been able to concentrate at anything... even in law school I was always zoning out. I guess that's the reason why I can't play more than 1-2 hour sessions. How do I go about fixing my beat? I don't have insurance and I don't start buisness school until next semester (school health plan)... do clinics prescribe medication for ADD? This blows!!!

like 30% of the population has "ADD" or similar. I've got ADHD. I get along just fine without medication.

ADD is overrated.

I don't see why you are so upset. This is like checking your bank account and finding out that you have less money than you thought. You might be disappointed, but you are better off knowing the right amount and that is way more than the small effect of disappointment.

As far as medication, if you want it you can probably get a prescription to the highly controversial drug Adderall.

Good luck with your ADD. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, you can work through it either with medication or without.

I'm not upset about it. I know it's not a big deal. I just always thought I was lazy bc I always lost focus regardless of what I was doing.
