Im ALWAYS forgetting things like my passwords, keys, etc etc
I have an extremely short attention span when it comes to remembering numbers, people's names etc
I have a terrible time focusing on one thing and usually get bored easily and move on to something else only to repeat the same process.
Ive made irrational and impulsive decisions such as having a ridiculous amount of promiscuous sex and not being able to manage money right
Some how i graduated college and am working a pretty decent job.
Ive been this way my whole life and cant help but feel that if i were treated earlier i wouldn't have made so many mistakes.

Are any of you in the same predicament? What have you done to treat it?
Damn I read this shyt multiple times cause most of it describes my behavior pretty well. Was just wondering about a solution earlier at work

Nevermind, I don't remember why I came in here. :francis:
Funny as hell cause I know exactly what you mean :snoop:

How did you go about getting diagnosed. Psycologist? Psychiatrist?

And also what are the side effects of Adderal? Any other supplements i can take to help in the meantime?
General doctor can hook you up with meds but they'll usually refer you to a specialist for more precise diagnoses and treatment

I've dealt with ADD/ADHD since I was in grade school. I used to take Ritalin for it way back when. Then Concertra....I got off of that cause it made my stomach ache. Then Adderall.....I love adderall.
Then buproprion. Now I know how to keep it under control. I honestly find it a hidden blessing. I have my mind in nine billion places at once and it helps me stay focused and creative.

To those of you who are struggling with this, are there any supplements I can take to help until i see a doctor?

A friend of mine recommended i try Ciltep and while i was more productive while taking it i dont think it really helped that much

Also if i do get put on Adderal , are there side effects of Adderal i should worry about?

Ive notice that the last 3-5 years i have a hard time getting tasks done. I start shyt and never finish them and get back to them after i abandoned another task i started and realized the one i abandoned earlier. At least that is what bothers me the most. But by overall symptoms are pretty much like OP @TheReckoning . Im forgetful, have a very short attention span, cant focus on anything for long as i get distracted easily. Dont even get me started on the sex part
