Hello, i have for about 4 months suspected that i have attention deficit disorder, i show many symptoms of it and possibly a few of obsessive compulsive disorder, such as lack of concentration, not able to compleate simple tasks, always being late when trying to be ontime, bursting out in anger when things arent exactly a certain way,I only listen to my point of view and am extreamly arguementitive if there are any opposing ideas that contridict mine, procrastinating important things, loosing things that involve mental energy, i am tired of it and have tried taking ginko biloba, occasionally taken ritalin given to me through a friend, have tried adrafinil, I have not seen many resaults in any of these medications, i have even taken antidepressants with this medication such as my evaluation says i should, i have taken prozac, paxil, zoloft, and a antidepressant from france which in higher doses was meant for skitzofrenics amisulpride... they only mildly affect my symtoms and do not make huge impacts on my life as i was told they would. I am failing at everything i do, Yet a am extreamly intellectual I lack the patience to do anything!!!!!But i can focus on listening to an indavidual, when the subject matter is of my interest but as for school work forget it, I am not able to do well in my studies/work yet i can carry conversations that are at times astounding for someone of age 16, i have knowledge about many things that 16 year old boys dont even conceave possible...I CANT MAKE GOALS!!! i need help and i realize it, before i loose control of my life, i want to go to college and get good grades, but the simple things get me stuck, yet i can be a doctor and tell you about all the chemicals in the brain how they work etc... i can tell you about neuclear energy, i can tell you about how higher frequency wavelengths travel shorter distences then lower onces that reflect off the ionosphere and make rotation around the earth, i can tell you about every simgle thing the paper said, or direction how to get places for the next 300 miles, but i cant compleate a Book report for school!!!! please help, tell me what to do please i do not understand what is happening and i need to take control before i am 23 without a high school deploma living off my mom who will then be 60 years old and eating bon bons watching tv waisting my life away.
