    Bach’s music is beautiful! Some music can cause chills, goosebumps and tears at the same time!

    I don’t have the impulsivity thing. It fascinates me though! Is the ‘impulsivity’ part of the ADHD problem itself or is it the inattentiveness that pushes the impulsivity to be the most prominent symptom for the ADHD flavor? Am I just distracted too quickly to react to anything or am I really not impulsive at all? I really haven’t got a clue… but I’ve been dormant for about 30 years, so I may have not been paying attention.

    @Carrie I haven’t taken the time to go through your youtube links yet! I will though. I mean with our outstanding taste in music, being Carries and all… :)

    Oh and where can I sign up for the band?? I had a good rant on my drum kit today, so I’m up for it! lol

    Game tunes can be soo adeeeeecteeeeeeeve! These are some of my favs

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LYB7iLZNWE Sonic 2 Chemical plant zone

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6JK3fhYE1w Halo Theme

    Oh and as for King Crimson guys on their solo projects: 

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23AjeSyECG8 Trey Gunn

    This music, and King Crimson and Gentle Giant helped me focus, because it was this kind of complex music, that kept all my attention threads compelled. Most Homo Attentivis don’t understand how this nerve wrecking noise could calm me, but it did. Oh and Pantera’s F#*king hostile ofcourse:

    Who wouldn’t feel silence and peace, listening to that symphony of sore throat?

    @MissMuffin

    (sorry for the long post.. I just keep going and going)

    that’s a tough one!! It may not be bothering him at all. And I know from experience that it has many advantages to be perceived as a forgetful day dreamer. (I still ‘play’ that part sometimes) Usually, though, we’re around people that take care of us and prevent us from getting stuck in life. Even though a lot of us aren’t as lucky as I am, in that sense!

    I can’t really tell you what ‘the way to do it’ is, but I can tell you what opened my eyes, to finally get the help I needed! Our son, who was born almost 6 years ago, needed guidance and structure, as any kid does. I was not aware of my need for help at the time. I thought my depression was only bothering me, not anyone else, and I clearly wasn’t worth it to do something about it. 

    (It was during treatment for my depressions that we found out that it was ADD that caused a big chunk of it)

    In effect, my wife had to take care of two kids. One real child, and a grown man who couldn’t take care of himself.  It was incredibly rough for her as you can imagine. When she couldn’t hack it anymore, she told me she was going to have to leave me, if I wasn’t going to get help for myself. She confronted me with our decision to take care of a kid together and now she was, by herself, taking care of our son and me.

    It was then, that I realized, that I wasn’t the only one that actually suffered from my depression. So in my case, it was my wife who (rightfully so) told me she was going to stop providing for me, as a mother would for her child.

    If your friend can manage on his own, and isn’t bothered, then it’s really his choice, but if he’s dependant upon others, who can’t or won’t provide for him anymore, then he needs to realize that he has to enable himself to take responsibility for himself. (Or at least put in the effort to the extent of his capabilities) So that may be the way to go about it.

    I hope this helps… It did for me! My wife is still with me and I’m very thankful for her assertiveness! It’s impossible to describe how it feels to be able to relate to my son. He can reach me and I hear him. I am aware of him being around and I reach out to him! That was unthinkable, before I got help. He looks so much like me, (i’ll apologize to him later, i promise) and it tears my heart to realize he could have grown up with a truly absent father. And I wouldn’t have known what I was missing.
