Right now thats the case for me.

Sometimes i can "turn" up my thoughts to where there rapid, exciting. THen i can tolerate it.

Hi,

>Anyone else know what im talking about?

Oh yeah- been like that all my life. You can't get ADD meds here (unless you have a childhood history of running round the classroom screaming!)

You mean you DIDN'T run around the classroom screaming??????? I did... as well as "is a very smart little girl and can always answers the questions I ask when she is not paying attention. The problem I have with having her in my classroom is that the other students whom she pulls away from the class discussion are NOT able to answer those same questions" and "this wonderful little girl acts out because she needs a great deal of love"....

Trouble, trouble, trouble- that's me...

No, I just sat there in a daze, not paying attention to anything!

doesn't sound like a predisposition to ADD to me... usually a kid will be distracted by something different every two seconds and is extremely fidgety as a result...

Sounds more like disassociative behavior to me...

Ah, but I guess that's why I don't have a license to practice pyschology!!!

Enough about my theories... how are you doing today???

Hi!

>usually a kid will be distracted by something different every two seconds and is extremely fidgety as a result...

I was easily distracted. I didn't fidget much though because I was too anxious- I was frightened that I would get in trouble.

>.....how are you doing today???

I'm not too bad thank you. I'm still distractable though! I've never been hyperactive.

Kind regards,
Ed.
