Pragmatically, and from experience working in the field, you have ADD or ADHD. YMMV. Work in a group home or after school programs. If a kid is having trouble focusing a Mountain Dew can go a loooooooong way. Not all can be easily self medicated, but you also have a higher than normal sense ofself

Understatement, my problem isn't quite the norm of adhd however as I can actually do multiple things at once effectively. If I don't multitask I go fucking nuts.

I am similar Sean. The problem is those few activities that allow me to hyper focus. I'm thankful that in addition to my attention problem I also have a control compulsion. Anytime I fixate on something I instantly go into a safety mode.

We talked about video.games. emersion in that would be so easy. Right now I'm texting 2 people, cleaning up the house and coping with some anxiety. It's positive anxiety, at least.

It's funny. How for me the relaxation of a difficult video game has to be squelched by a control disorder and my roommate plays video games because he feels its the only place he has control.

Oh and forget video games. If my control issues were not so strong I would for sure have herpagonasyphilaids.

Nothing makes me hyper focused like squish mitten.

What if I said Atlas Shrugged? Owned.

I'm not reading that though... tongue.png

I started it, tripped over the badly acted movie on Netflix, have been hesitant to pick the book back up.

The movie was poorly acted. I still love the story though. I haven't read it all the WU through yet.

Smashed the fountainhead back to back. I <3 Rand.

Ferdinand and I spent Friday night and Saturday, off the grid, in upstate NY playing a ton of Frisbee golf with the other godfathers of the Salisbury Ultimate Frisbee team. (Not like if I stayed home it would have been any different as the power went out Friday due to a major storm.) This weekend was a long over due decompression of the soul, away from the pressure, nastiness and endless demands of my normal life. I run at the limit too much of the time, and I know it's not good for my body. One of my best friends bought a 50 acre farm right across the street from the Warwick disc golf course. He has a course of his own on the property and lives extremely green, heck I got to feed the chickens and get veggies from the garden. I hope to get up there more, the P5 was trusty as always (despite me missing a gear in Philadelphia traffic) and still got me over 30mpg with the A/c rolling the whole way up and back with a FULLY packed car, though it does not have the umph to get up the rolling hills with the a/c on, a full car going under 40mph in 5th. Oh well, here are a couple of photo's I happened to snap.

Pragmatically, and from experience working in the field, you have ADD or ADHD. YMMV. Work in a group home or after school programs. If a kid is having trouble focusing a Mountain Dew can go a loooooooong way. Not all can be easily self medicated, but you also have a higher than normal sense ofself

You actually buy into that attention disorder bullshit?

Friday night into Saturday, my putting was fucking nuts. After that, I was chopping lumber off the tee's and the approach shots were too far. It was peaceful to be off-line like that. No A/C no internet, just fresh food, loads of beer, friends, Ferdinand and Frisbee golf.

His pretext was unbelievable horseshit. When I first read I ran away as if I typed something it would have been more inflammatory. Even a rudimentary understanding of anything electronic should put you in a better spot than that. Seriously dumbfounding.

The diagnosis is normal, the treatment is either scary, stupid, or beneficial. The last of course being activity based, not medicine. A concentration activity in particular. For that I'd vote music lessons.

I just read it and thought oh wow. I loved that the OP's thread was just sorta dumb for a lack of a better word, and then Pro Rabbit made it interesting. :lol:

And now somehow it'll be my fault he's embarrassed. Obviously only something you can do to yourself...
