a request to my sighted readers?!

[rdfreak]

Hey ruuk or any other sightie on my friends page, could you get back to me and let me know if you can fix my bio page? (I just attempted to put the previous personality results there but wanted to take out all that "free online dating" crap that keeps repeating itself for some reason. But I think in doing so I took out some formatting which needs to still be there and I can't work anything out. it's there in the source code but not in view of the public yet!
Thanks! :)
html will be the death of me! *grrr too much concentration to see what I need to end tags on.

I am watching Doctor Phil right now and am seriously wondering if I have ADHD. .. The symtoms they've described (which we should be looking out for) in terms of not being able to concentrate for long periods has shouted at me all my life. I'm often wondering how the heck other blindy's have coped with limitted resources during their school and tertiary studies, and, yet still mannaged to get high marks? It just has never ever ever worked for me? I just can't cope. I literally have fallen down because I haven't had my preferred formats. Even at school I wanted so much to get good marks but I could just never ever sit long enough and obtain them.
I am seriously wondering about this and may go so far as to even find out?
Til next time, RdFreak

I have been told this is how I am and I sometimes wonder myself. I try to deny it, but then again, I wonder if denying this possibility may actually be the problem.

I think it's up to us to go find out the professional answer. who are others to try and judge us?! My parents are going to deny it but they don't know how hard I worked thus far and achieved very little! they didn't know that while I was getting low marks and my peers (and also my blind peers) very high ones, I was suffering in silence cos I'd almost failed! It was vertually impossible for me to sit and concentrate so I'd try and take short cuts which didn't do a thing in my favour at all!

At least you did your best. Oh yes, and I understand the deal with it in silence part. It didn't last too long for me in school cus my parents wanted to know what was going on, but I didn't even understand it unfortunately. I think I may very well check into this now.

well see, I had led everyone to believe I never cared what marks I got, but I did really, especially when time after time my friends would get high marks (even saying the same for last year in my latest studies)

You sound really frustrated by not being able to obtain good marks
and even when you try hard you must get dishearted.

LOL did u find out who it was

I didn't end up checking the IP address no but I think I already knew who it was. I mean I don't mind getting annonymous comments but when they don't sign their name, it gets to be a pain for me. :)

Aw

I have ADD. It's the same as ADHD only the hyper part doesn't fit me. I have trouble concentrating on activities that requier a lot of concentration such as reading or math for long periods of time. I start reading and drift off into space and forget what I'm reading or start a math assignment and become quickly disinterested. You might very well have it. If it makes you feel any better I've never gotten good grades either, despite trying and working my butt off to get them.

hey man thanks for sharing that. .. no I am not hypa - well most of the time Lol! .. how did you get yours diagnosed? Wow, there is so much mystory out there!
It sure makes me think. I am sure I have something other than depression by itself. :( thanks. it's so disheartening to work and work and get nothing! :( *hugs*

The school psychologist first thought I had it so my mom got a referral from the family doctor to see a specialist; she did tests and diagnosed me as having ADD. There are pills you can take that will help but I never take them because I’ve read they can be addictive and I would rather not become dependent on pills. I would also forget to take them so I just live without. It’s gotten better as I’ve gotten older. Maybe because I’m aware it’s there I’m able to control it better? Not real sure.
If you think you have it talk to your family doctor or a councilor.
