Manny, how can you tell if it’s “it?” My GP (still haven’t been able to get in-touch with an ADHD doc) increased the Concerta dosage from 27 to 36mg. I really don’t notice any difference, or maybe there are and I don’t know what to look for or feel..

Purlgurl, you wrote: “he (my husband) was even at the point where he was encouraging me to start looking for full-time jobs in fields like food services in hospitals (unionized, with benefits).” Does your husband, know my wife? She thinks I should get a unionized job with benefits and cruise since I’m obviously ‘damaged goods & can’t hold a steady job, have no drive etc etc.”

As Nory wrote… (i just cut & paste, it would take me all day to write down what my mind is going through. I’d miss the boat completely and freeze). I agree with his note completely. I know I’m smart. I know I have a higher than avg intelligence level. I just can’t put it down on paper or speak it. Chronic underachiever etc etc…you know the drill.

One of the results of being bright is that you compensate so well for your disability in many situations (especially school) that nobody ever notices just how totally scattered you really are. “<snip>
