I was diagnosed late with ADHD at the age of about 12 or 13 i think... 10 years ago

I was heavily medicated for 3 years on ritalin and during this time i was very unhappy, i lost a lot of friends and people said that i wasn't myself...

Eventually i turned to crushing up the ritalin i was supposed to be taking twice a day and snorting a weeks worth in a few hours... no idea what made me do that i was a teenager innit fuk knows what goes on in your head at that time...

anyway... i'm well shot of that now and ever since everything has been so much better...

i self medicate with weed which i truly believe helps me to concentrate and focus and pretty much do anything well...

did half my A-levels stoned as fuck and got good marks, did some exams without smoking that day and pretty much failed them completely... although as i have got older i have developed some appreciation for not being stoned (even if it is only for 3 hours first thing in the morning lol)

with regards to my production i have no idea if it has a negativ or positive effect as i've never had any basis for comparisom... all i can say is that i rely on smoking a lot of weed when i produce to keep me focused and calm... if i don't smoke everything gets hectic and all over the place and i can't concentrate and i never get anything done...

dunno where i'm going with all of this... just my story on the topic i guess...

Oh, and to this day i believe Ritalin is one of the worst things you caould ever give to a developing child who is already having difficultys fitting in to "normal" society. And it makes me so ridiculously angry when people refer to ADD/ADHD as a sickness or illnes as it is my belief that people with this condition are simply a little different and in some ways it can be a huge advantage... (i have extra special skils in talking a massive amount of shit in a very short space of time for example !!!! lol)

i'll shut up now

peace

i'm diagnosed ADD, and i'm not sure if it hurts having it or not just because i've never known what it is not to have it. :)
