Do I Have Attention Disorder? Posted: 05-22-07 16:15pm
When I was growing up I was pretty bright.
I was in honors programs and was able to
problem solve and think critically and
generally was able to stay focused.
However, I feel that I have lost a lot of
this through the end of high school and
through my four years in college. I never
was a big partier or got f***ed up or did
any drugs, but I find that my mind is
often in a state of "looking through"
rather then being able to focus.
This was the case in lectures, doing
homework, reading, etc...and I feel like I
may have some sort of attention disorder.
Like I said, I constantly feel like my
mind is seeing though things and I cant
focus on tasks such as reading and paying
attention for periods of time. This hasnt
stopped me from getting decent grades but
I find that I have a harder time learning
than I used to.
I really want to try to read and learn
alot on my own this summer before I head
off to grad school but I just cant seem to
get my mind back into it. Has anyone else
ever experienced this? Would herbal
supplements that claim to improve memory
and focus help? I eat healthy and like I
said, I dont drink much and I dont do
drugs.

Herbal supplements might help. It's
probably worth a shot. If not, talk to
your doctor about it just in case.
