I agree with Miswimmy1 as well. I'm not currently treating my ADD, but I remember when I was diagnosed and put on the proper meds. It was so clear! Now, without meds, I'm scatterbrained and cannot just focus on ONE thing. I try, but.... you know how it goes.
Arwen - it's hard to find a close friend like that. I know what you mean. I just moved to a new state and have made some friends, but I know that I'm a little too intense for most of the friends I've made. Like I have this emotional excitability (or an overflow of energy .. not physically.. but mentally) and people can feel that and are either overwhelmed by it or just think I'm weird. I have a guy friend here that I met through my meditation group and he immediately commented on it. Guys are like that. They are just easier for me to be friends with. I guess because I'm not into pointless drama. I haven't met many girls my age that are chill.
