I got diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as a kid. I guess it was accurate because the meds they put me on were pretty effective. Sure I'd pay attention in school and do my homework, but I didn't care about any of that stuff; I was a drama geek and it felt like I was acting through this thick net that the meds kept me under. It was creativity crushing which made me miserable so I stopped taking them.
Now as an adult I talked to my doctor about going back on meds. He said that I'd have to go to weeks of therapy I can't afford with a shrink an hour away before I could maybe get a prescription. Oh well.
