Kinda sounds familiar

[comeagain]

I posted this video clips mostly because I care for Bill1952.
Maybe it can help him and yes also us others to realise how out of balance such
person really is. And perhaps  laugh a little and somehow alleviate
that pain in the @ss feeling we sometimes so brutally experince.

Couldn´t those people take some ritalina or something, and do so for our sake. Because I get the impression they don´t suffer at all or at least not half as much as their victims do.

I got to add I don´t think all ADHDS are a pain in the @ss I know a very nice girl who used to be here , she said she had it and shes not a pain in the @ss at all,   ( could be she has been on medication though when she was participating here).

Or it could be its when someone is in denial the problem gets unbearable.
Just as it is with many other troublesome issues, like alcoholism and drug abuse forinstance.

Also think I have a tendency of it my self , and it is painful because my brain is working overtime sometimes, so it collapses( gets depressed) now and then and that is not a pleasant feeling.
Maybe I wasn´t telling the truth about them (us ?) not feeling pain themselves(ourselves ?).

What do I "really know" about anything I got to ask my self many times?

Ps the Question mark I put in ( ) is  because I´m not really sure that is what I am suffering from.(Think I´m gonna take some test for it maybe someone else here ought to do that and get rid of denial )

Could be?....then again, may-be not.

I also know people with ADHD  does not fit the profile at all in
my opinion and neither do you:)

Hope you don't mind me jumping in to this thread.  Those video clips were funny.  I'm guessing Gavin is on the autistic spectrum somewhere (and I wouldn't entirely rule out ADHD).  Thanks for sharing.

Isnt the drug prescribed to children for ADHD a form of speed? i know its from the meth family of drugs.I dont under stand on on hand they are giving meth to kids but they lock you up if you make and use it...i know meth is the devils food,dont get me wrong,its a very evil drug...so why is it ok to give to children 5 years of age....am i missing something?

[Isobella]

Yes

[jdwithhcv]

Yes, I believe you are missing something.  Obviously the prohibition on amphetamines is related to "recreational use"  Furthermore, children with ADHD are not given street drugs such as methamphetamine.  They are given carefully compounded prescription medications that contain amphetamines.  The use of these drugs is careully controlled for good reason.  Many drugs that are abused on the street have a legitimate use in medicine, provided the drug is prescribed by a knowledgable physician it can be used safely.

Ritalina is speed. A crazy drug not healthy at all!

Thats in big quantities now we talking small very small quantities.
Although there is splinter opinions on giving it to children in the aspect that they perhaps easier will get hooked on drugs later in life, nothing proved about that I think.

I saw a program in TV about it it sure seems to works, makes the children able to focus so they can do schoolwork and also make them much calmer.

I was refering to adults though.

Many ADHD people takes drugs and alcohol and gets into problem.
I `ve  heard that this small quantities works on adults ADHD persons aswell even if they are  former speed freaks or and alcohol addicts.
