		<title>cant finish anything i start</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36584-cant-finish-anything-i-start/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[so my life is full of creative and imaginative stories and pictures. but i never actually finished anything. well besides maybe pictures i drew. but anyway... even the big things. like college. i started college when i was 18. and now im 22 and i...dont go. i just stopped. i LOVE multimedia! like my college major. i like graphic design and webdesign and digital video production. but only college can make such a creative and fun process such a horrible and tedious task! college just bores the fuck out of my head.<br />
<br />
music means a lot to me. i am a self taught drummer and i want to learn so much more! so in a couple weeks i start music and piano lessons. you know, the basics.<br />
<br />
so is it inpatience? is it boredom? is it my comple incapability to pay attention and sit still? yes!<br />
<br />
i suppose i am a failure. besides being really great at the things i do (like my 4.0 in college that im dropping out of). i just dont finish things!<br />
<br />
so how have you managed to finish tasks? especially ones you really want to finish. because simple will just isnt enough.]]></description>

		<title>Adderall body temp</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/35450-adderall-body-temp/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[does anyone here get real hot then the cold chills when first taking adderall? It's kind of annoying. Sometimes my legs get a cold pain sensation while my face gets flushed. Sometimes I take off my coat when I'm hot and then I get cold real fast and put the coat back on and I'm hot again. It's hard to regulate my temp. I never had this before until I started trying adderall. It says on a website that one of the side effects is body sweats under the armpits. I don't have that happening but I guess each person reacts differently]]></description>

		<title>My baby brother</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/35345-my-baby-brother/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[My little brother is 19, he was diagnosed with ADHD when he was in 1st grade and was put on Ritalin. The Ritalin worked pretty well, but with him already being a small kid, the appetite supression was really bad for him. After several years he tried Strattera with negative side effects. Since then he's been on Adderall and Focalin, which work very well. Now that he is legally an adult he refuses to take his meds because they make him feel slowed down and "weird". Within the last 6 months he's lost 2 jobs, got kicked out (currently living on friends couches), got a medical marijuana card which he uses frequently, and started doing LSD and ecstacy, and drinking quite a bit. He's just so impulsive and combative and I worry about what will happen over the next few months/years. He had a rough childhood and has no support from our family at all (except me). He has no insurance so he can't afford the meds, even if he wanted to take them. I guess I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do for him. He won't go to counseling, so that's not an option at this point. I would be devestated if he were to die while driving drunk or overdosing and that seems to be the path he's headed down. I guess I'm looking for some insight as to what, if anything, I can do. <br />

		<title>what does add feel like?</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/35338-what-does-add-feel-like/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I highly suspect that I have ADD.  I'm seeing a psychiatrist next month to get checked out for it, but in the meantime I'm just curious to know what other people's experience with it is.  Here are a few of my experiences:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My brain feels incredibly bored, but whenever I try to entertain it, it's like I can't "get into" anything.  My brain won't grasp onto anything.  I go from thing to thing trying to relieve the boredom but I can't focus on anything and my mind never feels satisfied.  It feels like my brain is fluttering around like a butterfly on a windy day.<br />
<br />
I feel like I can't make my brain go.  I try to start something and it's like I can't think.  I'm usually a very quick, clever, witty person, but sometimes I just feel like a vegetable.  In that case I have to "will" my brain to go, but then it goes too well and I can't unconcentrate.<br />
<br />
There is endless chatter inside my head.  Usually I have at least 2 songs stuck in there at the same time, a video or tv show I saw, along with some minor background trains of thought and my main train of thought.<br />
<br />
I can't do two things at once.  If I'm going something and my mom tries to talk to me I just don't grasp a thing she says.  She's gotten really used to me saying "Wait, what?  Start again."<br />
<br />
I have this horrible feeling of restlessness, boredom and tension.  My mom describes me as "a cat in a cage".  I can rarely sit through a whole movie without squirming around by the middle.  I always need something to fiddle with or I feel antsy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm having a hell of a time with this stuff right now.  I don't even know if this sounds like or is ADD.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?]]></description>
