Defeating bad habits

[waterlily]

Huh, I do all of those things but I always chaulked it up to my personality. I think I should look into this, can't hurt. I'm pretty sure the university I attend has free screening for that sort of thing. Thanks for the tip!

And thanks again to everyone who offered congrats. I'm still doing good with the not procrastinating, although I haven't rocked it as much as last Friday, I have hope.

Here are some online sources of info if you're interested:

Wikipedia (of course) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADHD_pr...ly_inattentive

Dr. Amen's site - he's written a really good book on ADD. They also have a test you can take to help narrow down if you might have it

...Uuuuuuuuhhhh... There's a couple other good sites I can't remember but I'll see if I can find them at work tomorrow. Also, the book "Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates And What You Can Do About It" by Gabor Mate (http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N2335....rd=3517971875?) is excellent - I got a real "Ah HAH!" feeling from reading about his theory that people develop ADD because they tend to be more sensitive than other infants and they don't get their "attachment needs" (basically love hunger needs) met when they're infants. This leads to a deep, profound feeling of unworthiness and unlovability. Made so much better because we're always screwing up, ya know!

Anyway, hope this helps. Ever since I realized I have ADD, and feeling how much of my life I've wasted on this stupid thing, I'm a woman on a mission to reach others in my position.

Good luck!

Hate to disagree with a new member especially but there are non that are healthy. They all are bad for you.

Yes. It was a joke
