math was like -- i was motivated to work, cuz you just quickly focus and learn that one trick to solving a problem, and then everything is easy
english always took so much concentration and thinking
then i graduated from school
now that i'm older, in jobs where you are expected to work xx hours no matter how fast you go, i bloody hate math ....
or anything without some personal interaction...that's why i'm thinking ADD led to depression for me... cuz i no longer have a reason to hyper focus (don't get paid accordingly or if i finish my work at noon i can't get leave and go home)
my doc says he's trying to get the ADD tests for me but i don't understand what the problem is? isn't it just like the MMPI or something.... just like 10 questions they ask you ??
