a request to my sighted readers?!


Hey [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

Aw

Rachel don't be sad. HTML sucks, haha. You know way more about it than i ever will, you're a genius! And you don't have ADHD, I can just tell. Hehehehe. And even if you did it's not like it's so bad lol.

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.

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.
