So, when are they going to start legislating my endorphin-producing 30-min cardiovascular workout every other day as "addictive" because it produces similar effects in the brain to a manifestation of sexuality? I'd rather masterbate before or after my workout to continue the effects of the endorphins (yup, I don't believe any of the workout-myths about any manifestation of sexuality having a negative impact on your workout...) Sexuality in any form only enhances my human well-being, because you know 2500 years ago that humans of that time would hunt or gather, play, eat, have sex, rinse and repeat without reguard to any ideals of christian morality... beyond the civil social setting, why shouldn't our private lives resemble humanity at it's earliest/most natural state of existence. Of course, I have to explain that in order to do such a thing in a civilized world, one must have an adequately disciplined and compartmentalized mind...

My dad has never been diagnosed with ADHD, but from what I've read he definitely fits in one of the six types of ADD. I have considered the possibility that I have some type of ADD myself, but I have not been diagnosed either.
So, I do not know if I myself have this disease, but I am 25 years old and I am just now in my last year of college! When I am finally done it will mean I have been in college for eight years in order to get a four year degree. Of course, this could be due to the fact that neither of my parents went to college and so they could not prepare me for college properly, but anyway...
During the past seven years I have had several struggles; one of them being a weight problem. I weighed 375 lbs. when I was finally diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes. They gave me drugs to take--drugs that would stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, thus decreasing the life-span of my pancreas. Then the Atkin's diet became all popular and so I tried that and it worked VERY well. I weigh 200 lbs. now (after 2.5 years) and I have a much greater ability to focus/think than I ever had during highschool.
This is not an ad. for the Atkin's diet because I now believe the diet did something for me that has nothing to do with the quantity of food one should eat. The diet gave me a chance to get away from wheat and other grains and to some degree diary-products (the Atkin's bars have only casein-based protein, which is milk-derived.. but compared to the amount of milk I used to consume, it is a lot less now) It is my understanding (but there are no facts that I can find in research) that wheat-proteins and dairy-based-products can actually contribute to certain PDDs (Pervasive Developmental Disorders). This means autism or Asperger's syndrom. I have also begun to consider that ADD could be a side-effect of any spectrum of the PDDs in general. (just an insight here, no proof)
Obviously, what works best for one person may not work that great for other people. But I have found a great deal of relief from the symptom's of ADD and/or PDDs since I began removing wheat,dairy, and egg-based products my diet. It's extermely easy to do now with all the Atkin's/LowCarb dieting. However, I'll grab a bag of mixed-fruit and chow down these days (which is full of sugar...) so it's not like you have to do low-carb dieting to stay away from foods that could possibly contribute to ADD.
In conclusion, I feel much better and I am finally doing well in college. I'm an all-A's & B's student these days. Certain basic fundamental concepts are much easier for me understand that no doubt "normal" people take for granted. I do not feel as if I am part of a mindless conformity either--But I do live alone and I do not participate in very much social activities other than going to the library and fitness-center by myself. A high-price to pay, perhaps, but it seems to work best for me this way.
