I don't think I communicated my message very effectively, because your responses seemed to misinterpret parts of it. Let me quote some of your responses above, and see if I can do a better job of making myself clear.
> exactly, i go everyday in a havoc with getting on people's nerves, and many things. And he, as a doctor didnt do his job, because (1) lazyness because the lawyer "well he cant be treated" (2) treating me worse than a person on the street.
That was in response to my suggesting that BOTH OF YOU missed the fundamental problem. That does mean that the doctor didn't seem to see the problem -- but it also means that I think you lost sight of the problem, too. You're asking to be treated for ADHD -- and you might have a better outcome if you asked for treatment for your symptoms. (Of course, you might not.)And I'm going to say this again: I do not believe that, on the basis of what you have told us, your doctor is being "lazy." It may be very difficult for him to say no to you -- and he may believe that it is in your best interest to do so. He may believe that the stimulants would simply make your condition worse.
>-my doctor really made an bad assumption, because he just kicked me out, the amount of rudeness, he called a lawyer. He FLAT OUT didnt want to treat me.
Um... Seems to me that he wanted to treat you -- just didn't want to treat you for ADHD with stimulants. Frankly, I don't think that's necessarily a bad decision on his part, but I'm not a doctor.
Listen, I wish you the best. I don't have time to offer the same thoughts over and over, so I won't. What I will say is that I think you would do well to consider what your professor had to say -- perhaps your problem is an undisciplined mind. Perhaps practicing a bit of mental discipline would be helpful? It might be worth a try.
It's also worth trying out the exercises that therapist gave you. Let us know how that goes for you. And please post it on the appropriate board...
