Hi ispillcoffee,

Sorry to hear you spilled the sweet nectar that is coffee. I just wanted to say that I've been living with ADD my whole life and have had some control of mine without help or meds.

I was on Ritalin and Adderall as a child/teen and they helped to a certain degree. Yet, I look back now and realized they didn't help it all. I was closed off from most of my peers, not from lack of trying just lack of being able to care about anyone else but myself. I felt that my problems must be wrose than anyone else's. I was also slightly depressed a lot of thoses years.

Now I have the feeling that most of what I'm learning in classes isn't sticking, I can still somewhat recall it if needed. The longer the period of time the better I might remember things. I have many friends who live all over the world. I've traveled and leard alot about myself. Still, I'm getting psychological help for my ADD next month. I'm open to drug therapy once again if they think it is needed. They know a lot more now than the did in the early 80's to the late 90's.

If it helps I'll be starting a blog about my new life's journey on here. Request me as a friend and I'll post you the address when I get it up. Plus maybe give me some tips on what you feel might help you.
