this topic was one of those "duh" moments
sorry

doh oh duhh, bleh ghey

srry...

currently im obessing about my reports

Don't let IQ bother you it is not as profound as it seems. My cognitive problems affect my score significantly.

Like you my verbal skills are the highest

srry ghey bleh meh

yeah im not too worried about the Iq thing. what i was suprised to see was this; ability to live independtly low? excuse me?

i mean shure i dont take a bath everyday and brush my hair or teeth but wtf? how is this gonna effect me when i move out in 6 months?

I liked the other one you posted where it said at the bottom that you'd said you didn't want to take any drugs, because you didn't think you needed them.

that would be this one.



and i still feel the same way. the reason why i said that was because i was admitted and they were trying to dope me up as soon as i got into the door. i aint haven none of that son!! believe that

too right... nothing more horrible than the thought of not being in control of your mental faculties. they would have gotten some nice four letter words out of me!

well, thankfully the guidance center has dropped me as a client, its not like they did anything for me anyways, exept waste my time. losers

I like to think of drugs as a part-time thing.
Use them judiciously and sparingly.

I am currently off my add meds. I tried Ritalin, Strattera, and another one or two I can't remember right now.
I really never felt they were doing me much good... but then that's what I said to my friends whenever they handed me speed so I could stay up for longer shifts in the oilfields where I worked or when I had to drive a long ways after working.

The stuff never seemed to give me what my friends found in it.

...attempting to steer back on course...

I know tests, scores, written assessments can really screw with a person's mind, but I hope you know yourself better than that.

I don't discount all psychology/science, but I don't let them take control of my life... that's for me to do.
Their tests and assessments aren't always to best way to figure out someone, but that's all they have because of the way the system is so entrenched in doing things and looking at things the same way year-after-year-after-year... so we get the DSM which is a poor way to see people.

Anyway, hope you get over it okay.
I've enjoyed the posts you make here and I don't see anything wrong with you... AND THAT'S MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION... (I stick people with sharp objects and draw their blood professionally ).

So far I've tried Concerta XL, Dexedrine and I'm trialing Strattera. Unfortunately I'm not one of those cases that can take or leave it. I really need this one to work.
I will likely take something like aricept for my executive dysfuntion, looking into memantine as well.

the only meds i have taken are respirdal and seroquel. both suck and further cemented my unwillingness to EVER be medicated again.

You seem a lot like me (in cognitive profile) as your verbal abilities mask your deficiencies.

That is the bane of my life. People assume because I can talk the talk I can walk the walk.

you need a friend, and i need a friend. so why dont we be friends

pal?
