Topic	My therapist thinks I may have ADD
LuciferSage 01/21/21 6:26:21 PM #21:	Metalsonic66 posted... I'm not aware of how different the medications are Best comparison I can draw is a really good cup of tea or coffee vs a red bull. GunslingerGunsl posted... Caffeine is usually my go-to as far as self-medication goes. I find that drinking a coffee or energy drink is almost necessary for me to sit and get something done. I try not to rely on it too much. A lot of the clients I used to see working in substance abuse self-medicated with far stronger substances. Oh, I can relate for sure, but I wasn't talking about whole-assing things end to end. The superpower is more on the multitasking end of things. At least for me. I'm pure ADD. The "H" was added just to hook 3x as many kids on adderall. I'm from the Ritalin, pure ADD era. The best way I can put it is this. Total silence is a blight because my mind will either make it's own static or tinnitus takes over. It's not that I can't focus, quite the contrary. I can focus on something to a near autistic degree, but that focus on any one thing comes with a stamina bar. However, I can keep as many as 7 or 8 channels open at a time. While I'm focusing on any one thing, the stamina bars on the other 6 or 7 are recharging. I switch rails as needed. It looks like total chaos to the untrained eye, but there really is a system at work that I've spent 40 years dialing in. An added side effect is a strange ability to see connections and patterns in seemingly unrelated things. I blame running on so many parallel circuits at once for that... It also makes me an extroverted introvert by nature. It's not that I can't handle a room full of people, but the interconnectedness of it all gets exhausting. --- http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/luciferxsage/LxSsigFinal.png pigs we get what pigs deserve... -\|\\| \| \|/\| <cite>LuciferSage posted [p:949765531] in My therapi...
