OMG!!!! That is ME!! As a matter of fact, I could have written that! LOL Where did you find this? Are there more jokes like this? Wow! When I see things like this, it actually makes me feel good in a weird sort of way because I don't feel like I'm the only one that deals with this! I was diagnosed in December 2009 after nearly 28 years of struggling with ADD-inattentive type 2 and up until that point I just thought I was dumb. lazy, and unmotivated. I don't know if you have this same feeling, but I am VERY motivated in that I WANT to do SO many things with my life, but just can't seem to muster up the courage to get up and do them and cant manage my time well enough to get them done! A lot of times I forget about some of the things I want to do until months down the road and I'm like "Oh yeah! Why didn't I ever do that like I wanted to before?" LOL I feel tired most of the time and get headaches and have tense muscles all the time. Too many thoughts and to-do lists flying around in my head as well as in my purse and on tables in my house, while I sit on my couch as you say "paralyzed" by my own thoughts! Sometimes I'll be walking through my house and just stop between rooms and thinking "what was I going to do?" and I'll start daydreaming and just standing there thinking about EVERYTHING!! It's like I can't snap out of it-I can't move, I have to think! lol Terrible! I feel as if my head is in the clouds all the time and I just want to come down to Earth with everyone else! lol Anyway, I found my miracle drug-it is Phentermine. I enrolled in college thinking I would just flunk out like I did in earlier years in school (i even dropped out of high school) and prayed that I would be able to learn this difficult college material I was facing. Coicidentally, I was just starting Phentermine for weight loss through a weight loss clinic nearby. I felt like John Travolta in that movie "Phenomenon" when that "light" hit him and he automatically like knew everything! That is how I felt in class! Amazing focus, I was on time!, I made straight A's (4.0 GPA) and even ended up with final averages in some classes of 102 and 105!!! Algebra was a breeze! Look at a problem one time that took most others forever to learn if they ever got it! I was completely floored when I found myself up at the board one afternoon tutoring most of my math class in the math lab at school! I had to stop and look around as everyone was talking and think to myself "am I actually teaching other people algebra?! Am I dreaming?!" Well, my body started getting used to Phentermine because I was on it for 4 months straight when before I had taken breaks of like one or two months in between my usual one or two months of being on the pills. So, now I'm on a break again and will be going back in a month or so. I've heard others say that this works, too, but as far as I know it is not prescribed as an ADD med yet. I wish more people would discover this and speak about it so that one day it might be. They say everything happens for a reason......guess all that weight I put on while I was pregnant was God's way of telling me that I had to sacrifice my usually skinny, in-shape body, for the use of my brain! LOL Thanks for posting this joke! Awesome!
