Hey, canimakeit,
Man you've had a rough go of it haven't you. I've been involved with some pretty unsavory losers myself, but never in any trouble. But my daughter got into some worse stuff, I'm thankful she escaped with her life and an police records.
I also wanted to just caution you on going to GNC outright and picking up stuff that maybe help or may harm you further. There are several different types of ADHD. From what I've read it is the different chemical reactions in the brain that determine each person's type. And different foods as well as nutritional supplements you have to be really careful with.
Good luck and peace,
ladyhope
Thank's for all the replies.
Lady, I took a test on three diff sites for ADD and they all list what you can take to help your symptoms of ADD?
The only thing I know to do is try the ones that have shown chance to cause problem's one by one, then once I know all of them work on together then I got it.
From what I read and studied it seem's like mine is so bad I am wasting my time.
Well see I guess, I understand what your saying.. I am REALLY careful to study stuff and read board's where people have tried the sup and give good and bad report's on how it effect's their lives.
Thank's again.

An ADHD doc would be a good move, in my opinion. Good luck.
Oh, and by the way - there really is no need to shout.

Sorry, thought it would be easier to read if the text was a little bigger.I think they knew something was up, just didn't know what to do about it.
Im not even for sure where to start yet, Im going today at about 8:30 to GNC to get some stuff I looked up.
If this doesn't help Im going to a ADHD doc.
My parents sent me to private school too. What a waste of money - but I guess they meant well, bless 'em. They were convinced all the problems I had were because the schools were no good.
When I lived with my parents we had no knowledge of this condition, and so I had no excuses for my laziness, and I had my share of beatings because of it - but I hold no grudges, my parents had a hell of a time trying to deal with me, and they could see no reason other than stubborn, bloody-mindedness for my 'refusal' to play by their rules. I guess childhood for most of us on this forum was pretty tough.
Getting mixed up with a bad crowd is not unusual for AD/HD people, maybe because we struggle to get along with 'normal' people. I used to hang around with Angels and other unsavoury Biker gangs, and got up to some regrettable stuff too (but I'm a good guy now). In fact with hindsight I can see AD/HD traits in a lot of the guys I used to mix with (maybe that's why we had that close 'brotherhood' bond).
When I discovered the existence of AD/HD (or ADD, or whatever) all the pieces of life's puzzle just slotted into place, at last I had found the key! It was a pretty emotional time, even for a grizzled old loser like me.
It's a funny old thing, life.

Where to start, 24 years old and living at home.
Growing up I went through school and life behind everyone, couldnt make myself focus.. I would set in my seat at school actually sweating from trying to *get it* so hard.
So the problem was my parents paid big money to send me to a private school *idiots ran this school*
So I goto this place untill high school and I find girls,fun,MJane.
I do this untill 16 *when I first got to drive racecars for my father* he owned the team.
I got envolved with that and street racing mustangs also.
I asked my father one night *as I did on sev night's* pop could I have a problem here? is that why I can't do what I know I need to be doing?
"You can do whatever you put your mind to, don't make excuses for your own lazyness.. it get's you into trouble"
I had/have HUGE respect for my father, always thought what he said to be LAW.
I make the choice to move out with a girl I thought I was in love with, come to find out she is preg from another dude and starts to show after some time.
I got EXTREMELY angry after I figured out it wasnt mine, she moved back with her mom and the dude that caused it.
I move back home at 18 Y-old, have been here to 24 yold *where I am now*
I decided I was going to change that and get a col education and stop working for machine shop's.
I spend from 20-early 23 yold trying to get what I needed done col wise.
I gave up on that and started working for a local historical location *a friend was a guard there* I end up getting to know the shop guy's there and YEP, ended up in the shop.
Turns out they are one of the biggest illegal chop shops and some other *untold* stuff there was, I get offered a job.. I turn down the job.
The job was doing something extremely illegal, I had made it clear that my goal was to get stable and eventually become a police officer *dream job*
Recently the friend I had gotten fairly close too *a BAD ADHD case* tells me a story that he needs help getting 100,000 from someone and tells me how it will be done and offers me a cut, then he goes on to tell me its the guy we worked for *the owner and a friend of mine*
I will not bore you with any more of this story but please hang in there with me...
Short story in the last 3 months I have had my life threatened, guns pointed at me... all to end up getting SO desperate for what the hell has happened for me to let myself get this deep into a pile of crap.
I start studying what could cause a person to have trouble learning from childhood to an adult, then I find my gold... its ADD.
So now I have went through life completely unaware that the reason I was stuck being a scum/lazy/goofball/idiot/worthless to education.. was because my eggs are scrambled<-- this is how I see it.
relationship/friend problems have fallowed me, only friends I have are either really disturbed or into illegal thing's.
I also want to tell you all how much you couldnt believe this web board has helped me, I am a grown man and 24 years old and for the first time in 2 years I broke down reading peoples experiances with ADD because there is actually someone that actually KNOWS what I go through day to day.
So now I can see light, It looks as if I can possibly find my way out and for once in ALL my life truly be able to sit back and be at a mental peace *the first peace of mind I have ever really had*
The fact I actually know what EXACTLY was the problem.
I am not a depressed person, I am very laid back and a have a good dry sense of humor... expept when Im really serious.
cars are my out, I have a black 89 GT really built up, thats my relationship,drugs,rush,party.
I could get in that thing and I had peace, I wasnt worried about why I couldnt learn what I needed to learn.
Now I can feel somewhat that same peace because I actually have a good hold on what the hell is going on with me.
Problem is, my record is perfect and I have NEVER done anything bad, aside from MJ use.
I still wish to be a cop but I have to be VERY careful who and how I allow to try and help me because ONE retard doc could put a blackmark on this or misread it and Im finished.
Anyways, I have bored you enough and I hope you read my book.
BTW I am also SEVERE dyslexic, my father homeschooled me through that so I could function up untill 12 years old, I figured it out after that.
This makes algebra hard and the ADD WITH the dyslexia makes it SEEM impossible as far as I can understand.
