i was dignosised with ADD when i was 20, however i have never really needed treatment or medication for it. i do take medication for depression/bipolar disorders, so maybe those help with the ADD as well. for me, the main "problem" is that i have difficulty concentrating or sitting still have long period of time. i have found that when i have to sit in meetings for work, i often "doodle" or will write on paper. it sounds weird i know, but doing something like that helps me concentrate on what is being said. i also can't sit and watch tv, i have to be doing something else at the same time. work is hard sometimes, having to do allot of computer work and documentation, but if i have noise in the backround (tv or radio) it is easier.

many people say how "lucky" i am that i can do several things at once, but i don't like it. sometimes i wish i could just sit and watch a movie, or just read a book. but my mind won't let me!
