I'm sorry hun i got distracted

well no, at first it looks like you 2 are arguing but if you bother to read and interpret you really are not... just kinda informative.

Props for admitting you have it though. I was diagnosed as not having it and i believe that is true. One of the guys I work with has it and if he doesn't take his adderal you can tell because he makes a lot of mistakes at work. He told me about it first day he was hired so when my boss was like what the hell is wrong with andrew i replied with legitimate ADD and it saved his job. It's not something to be ashamed of.

My boss is the only one at work who knows.. i told him for the same reason.. i make some minor mistakes at times .. for reasons beyond my control.

And meetings do have to be scheduled.. if possible according to internal clock

Nobody wants a 6yr old at a business meeting

why do you want on ADD medication.. they will fuck with you hard core.. unless you are trying to lose weight. go in and fake symptoms

also can't anyone see a correlation between the increase in children with ADD and ADHD lately the way parents are feeding their kids now!?! all they get is sugar and shit.. back in the day me and my family use to sit down and eat a home cooked meal every night now its drive through mcdonalds and a shit load of sugar.. its not ADD its hyped up children from stupid irresponsible parents!

i agree and think it's misdiagnosed as much as depression and anxiety. Until you meet someone with legit ADD you won't understand it. We make fun of it a lot but that dude at work has a hard time without his meds.
