Profile

Although I have not been officially diagnosed by a doctor, I have many of the symptoms of a person with ADD/ADHD. It is not simply the lack of an attention span, but also the inability to sit through a full lecture without feeling anxious (? don't really know how to describe the feeling) about how slow things are moving. I also have trouble remembering specific details and being able to point out which details are more important than others.

In terms of anxiety, anxiety episodes are something I have had to deal with since I was much younger. The feeling of something that some may consider a small issue feeling like a burden that can get heavier and heavier as you get through it is how I can best describe it. Over time I have learned to deal with it, however, there are times where my anxiety can get the best of me.

For fun I typically play video games with friends or go out and explore new parts of the city. I also tend to get high (on weed) somewhat often, sometimes while doing said activities. The only thing that kind of changes my outlook on life in that negative stigmas associated with certain things such as someone who plays video games, or someone who does drugs has sometimes made me question my maturity and my ability to become a professional in a field. Sometimes some of these stigmas come from my own home which cause me to depend on my friends over my family for support, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it would be nice to have that comfort level with family where they can know everything about me.
