After getting my medication filled today and paying $300.00 or so for it and finding out that the price would be increasing to over $500.00 I wasn’t happy. I was frustrated and kinda freaking out mentally about how I was going to pay for it. I called my dad and he suggested I call CVS, I went in and they told me the price I’d pay. I was very happy to hear this news! I had to tell someone! LOL

I was born at 24 weeks. I shouldn’t have lived, but I did! 🙂
REPORT ABUSEFebruary 26, 2013 at 9:42 pm in reply to: Learning and not remembering what you have learned. ADD thing or just me. #119273wow… reading this thread has been very interesting! I can relate to a lot of what’s been said. I have bad short term memory especially at work. I have a good long term memory which helps me to remember past events like going to Italy in 2008 with my mom…or to NYC in 2011 with my mom and sister. but if you ask me to do something I’ll forget 5 minutes later… As a kid math was and is my worst enemy. I’m good at biology I was bad at chemistry though. I’m a visual learner so having to study for exams right now (I’m in college for the third time) is hard. But I’ve learned that pictures are my friends, lol!
REPORT ABUSE@Larynxa…thanks so much for explaining that. it makes much more sense now.
REPORT ABUSEI’ve lived with ADD my entire life, I was diagnosed at a very young age.My family and my best friend, professors in college, my co workers and my boss. Having ADD isn’t something I went around telling everyone, but I’ve found having people close to you who understand what having ADD means is helpful. luckily my instructors that I train in martial arts with have all been very supportive and encouraing of me, which has been very benefitual in a difficult art like the one I train in. Most people I’ve encountered know what ADD means those who assume that everyone has it are ignorant and don’t know any better… in my life, I’ve had a good support team of therapists, life coaches, professors, etc to help navigate me.
REPORT ABUSE@Larynxa Sweet!!! you’ve made my day!
REPORT ABUSEis there a mobile version of this site?
REPORT ABUSEtend to bounce my leg if I’m sitting down or if I’m standing I tend to pace a lot or tap my hands on something… I also talk a lot!!!! Just ask my family, friends, co workers and boss. When I get hyper focused there’s nothing that can distract me. I’m not hyperactive just inattentive.
REPORT ABUSEI don’t know if this counts as a high five but I’m getting better at opening up to my boss, emotionally. It’s hard for me to trust men but I’m getting better at it. He too has opened up to me, which has helped us both. He told me last night that I’m one of the few people he can trust,this made me feel happy.
REPORT ABUSE@shutterbug55 I’m a lot like you. I too need OJT except I need to see my boss do it first and then I can get it. I’ve learned through martial arts that it takes me a long time to understand even the easiest techniques..it’s frustrating but my instructors break it down step by step which really helps a lot. They’ve told me that my muscle memory takes longer to understand how to do a technique, which is true. I’d rather go slow and grasp the concept that way as opposed to going fast and not understanding it.
REPORT ABUSEThank you for advice!
REPORT ABUSEThe Dex. that I take is the genetic kind..I always thought that the generic kind is the same form (chemical make up) of the medication than the brand kind…am I wrong?
REPORT ABUSESo my medication wore off two hours ago…I’m currently trying my hardest to review for a quiz i have on Wednesday morning for school. I’ve found that putting away the electronic devices you own helps me. Out of sight out of mind… as they say.
REPORT ABUSE@MarieAngell I’m always dropping my phone! I played recreational sports for years but wasn’t very good. I recently got into martial arts in which you need lots of hand eye coordination and depth perception (I have very little, I was born that way, being premature)..I can and have done well thus far. At home, I’m forever tripping up the stairs. At work, I’m constantly tripping over chairs, hitting tables etc. ( I work in a restaurant).
