I've read the article on Wikipedia about ADD in adults and while I've identified several alleged symptoms listed there as existing in my case, or have existed, I don't think that that is really my problem. And even if it is, I'm not asking you to diagnose my "disease", I'm asking you how I can help myself to get out of the situation as a "victor". These are the self-improvement forums after all, right?
Unless I think it is absolutely necessary, I will not go running after doctors for every silly symptom of whatever disease (mental or physical). I have helped myself many times in the past and have overcome many defficiencies on my own (for example, I used to have trouble focusing on a book I was reading and I've done away with it; I used to be claustrophobic or something of the sort and I've done away with that too; I used to be afraid of the dark and now I sometimes even enjoy its cover, etc.). It took me some time to resolve my problems, but I eventually did, and as you can see, most of them were psychological.
I came here merely asking if someone has been in such situation and/or if someone knows a way of dealing with it. I will, no doubt, eventually find my own way because I'm constantly working on it, but any help from people who have experience with it will be welcome.
I'm certain that professionals would love to help me for a certain amount of cash, but to be honest, I don't take psychology as a science seriously. Not to go into much detail, I will only say that it is mainly because psychologists take Freud seriously. That said, I suspect there are very few psychologists in the world who can help me, if any.  |
