Adult ADD and FOCUS | ADHD Information

Share

Maybe you can help me with this. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I was made to take Ritalin until I was about 14 years old. I did very well in school when I could stay focused. I am now 37 years old and still have the toughest time staying focused on anything for very long without getting very anxious. I find that I have to stop and do something else to calm down, but it is very distracting and I never seem to be able to get back into the important project at hand until much later. It seems that I just bounce from task to task without being able to complete any one at one time.

 

This is very debilitating and is still affecting the level of success I can achieve at anything I really want to accomplish. It has affected me for way too long and I wonder if anyone has some concrete ideas that I can employ to harbor this nasty trait that doesn't involve pharmaceutical drugs or psychiatry visits. I have lofty dreams and want so much to be able to focus on the fundamentals necessary to achieve them. Please, any help in this arena will be very much appreciated!!!

I have had some success with an
Omega fatty acid combo and flax
seed oil. I haven't taken it long
enough to know the full extent of
what it will do but it does seem to
be helping me with focus. It takes
10 to 12 weeks for the full extent
to be known.
