Winnermentality Arondizuogu maduawuchukwu Oweniwe Thank you guys for this thread. Honestly I have most of the symtops mentioned here. Mine are inattentiveness, lack of focus, very socially reclusive and low working memory. To be fair enough I'm still a very smart guy but I find it difficult to get things done. In fact my former employer told me that if I was focused and attentive I'll be the smartest person ever. And to be honest I would be smarter if I was, I made a good second-class upper in the university but I was sure I would have made a first class if I had enough focus to actually read instead of watching boxing videos on YouTube all night. I cannot sit down and read!!! It's difficult. I'm a very hard working Guy but I find it difficult to read stuffs that are boring, listen to conversations for an extendeded period of time, I have a very short attention span. I've done quit an extensive research on these issues and I have found two ways out of it. 1) The hard and slow method: These includes but are not limited to A) Meditation B)Playing Dual N-Back (a game that helps improve. working memory) If you chose to follow this method I'll recommend you download "The power of now" by Eckhart Tolle. This is a very powerful book that helps you be in the present moment instead of living in the fantasy world of the past or future. Download a meditation App. I use 'insight timer' but there are other ones like 'calm' and 'head space' Download the dual N-back game for working memory. You should read about working memory and know how it helps cognitive functions. 2) The fast and risky method: This includes taking prescription drugs like adderall and ritalin. To be fair, these drugs work infact adderall is rated 8.3/10 by user reviews in the drugs.com website. But the honest truth is that it doesn't work well for everyone. I would advice you for a start to listen to the audio book of the power of now. That book told me everything that was wrong with me. You can download it for free online. Then commence with your chosen method. 1 Like 1 Share |

WINNERMENTALITY: Good afternoon bro. I just finished my exams. It was very funny. I was no sure of what I was writing. I was mixing up answers. Doubting what I wrote and shit. If I had not experienced anxiety disorder before I would have thought it was African science. How are you doing? |

Maduawuchukwu:Am doing great bro. Lol! the thing never sink wella. Saw a young girl exhibiting characters of ADHD. I asked her about what she is passing through she spoke as if she was talking about me. She kept saying that she talks too much thats why she behaves like that. I gave her my advice. Just pitied her as she said people do complain of her forgetful attitude. |

MumJJJ:Am doing good mumjjj, this tread was a turning point in my life. At least I can interpret most of my inner turbulence. The problem that I am battling now is moodswing and a congested mindset. Sometimes some thoughts stick to my mind and I can't just remove it, more like an OCD or hypersensitivity, same way some cant live up to 2 mins even when I badly want them to. I want try out a medication badly |
Re: Am Gradually Loosing It by MumJJJ(f): 10:26am On Nov 07, 2018 |
WINNERMENTALITY:Thank God you are doing good. I was concerned when i read where you said you take some things to help you to be calm. Please you don't need to add drug addiction to your problem! please!!!!! Just google some other things you can do, that will help you to be in charge of your thoughts. My son is doing good. Now he thinks out. ie talking to himself about things discussed earlier or some imaginations on his head. I have noticed that he will be a great artist, like painting, because, he sometimes tries to draw out of his imagination. He is still over active. In everything God is in control! I wish you the best in life! |

Happy to New year Guys.. This tread is still open for addeders.. Pls if you know what help you in the past, pls leave them hear.. I think Coffee keep my mind stimulated and ready to go. Adding a bit Marijuana( I don't advice this, I dont do it often because sometimes it doesn't change anything ) to my tea to keep my mind and tought closer to me. @themonk, Maduawuchukwu, Oweniwe |

WINNERMENTALITY: Pleae migrate fast fast. I'm where i am today cos of my computer skills. Ordinary certificate alone won't get you much. If you're at the tail end of your course,.. like 300 or 400L, you may finish it. One thing though You can learn computer stuffs anywhere anytime on the side without having to dump your course. I taught myself everything i know about computer outside the formal school system |

WINNERMENTALITY:now trust me, living with a mental illness is tricky, especially in this part of the world, there's loads of them, like someone said, schizophrenia and the like, chronic depression and anxiety disorder, PTSD, now the stigma is using drugs, the fact is its the only option...just have the discipline to not get addicted to it, how can you partition one part of your mind to focus on repress those symptoms and another part to focus on your goals in life, trust me, your brain was not designed to multi-task consecutive cerebral activities...truly, pop a pill, SSRI'S, Adderall, Xanax if u must... Getting high is not the point, it's being functional....an unexamined life isn't worth living, are you going to call me a junkie cos I pop a xan to deliver a lecture because of my chronic anxiety? Well that's your problem... come on now.... Always look beyond what you see...its your life, No one else feels your pain, have you ever been so depressed you constantly have suicidal thoughts? not cos some stupid girl broke your heart, I'm talking chronic depression... I'd rather be a junkie... Good thing is you have meds, and most people think inevitably using would make you an addict... WRONG!.... addiction is the uncontrolled use of a substance(drug) dependence on the other hand...damn...God help us all.. 2 Likes 1 Share |

megaphantom: lol, Am so happy hearing Someone speaking my stream of thought. How happy i am to hear, that using drugs or living an uncoventional life style others may deem dangerous may be beneficial to a Mental patient once being under your control and knowing fully well the addiction of it misuse. Sir am happy to hear this. I think this is the only way i have been felling better ever since i found out i might not be normal like others. I dedicate my time in learning more about dopamine, cause i believe everything about my problem lies in how my brain control it release of dopamine. Thank you once again 1 Like |
