I have ADD and a Non-verbal Learning Disabiliity. The latter indicates
that my processing IQ is way lower than my verbal IQ, so I learn really
slowly, but I can verbalize and think pretty complexly (albeit slowly,
sometimes). It's like a 40 freakin' point difference. |
I think I have this too...although that's a personal diagnosis.

Where can you go do get these evaluations done? I'd really like some
exstensive research and testing on my brain, because I'm a curious
fellow, but I have yet to find a an instituation or discover a method
that has done jack for me. Elementary through Highschool (which I never
completed) was a waste of my fucking time. |
Ironically, I was diagnosed via my high school psychologist and her
recommendation that I see a neurologist. My teachers were getting
frustrated with the way I, like many people on this board, seemed more
articulate and intelligient than the majority of students in my class,
but never seemed to do anything and had the hardest time with new
lessons, despite having a level of mastery over material taught weeks
prior well beyond the scope of the course.
I was subsequently given an IQ test (not that I knew what it was
until later, d'oh, I should've tried harder just to see wha tit
would've been), interviewed by both the psychologist and neurologist,
did a bunch of verbal and organizational excercises, and played some
computer game that's supposed to test concentration. I was then
perscribed with Concerta (like Ritalin, but with a longer effective
period), given a license to get extensions on whatever I wanted, and
advised to meet with the school psychologist once a week. I dropped all
of this after about a month and refused to be given special treatment
or take drugs to regulate my problem. I floundered through much of high
school, and have major problems getting stuff done/mastering new
concepts to this day, but I've learned to manage much better, and
currently have a 3.85 GPA

That is ironic, as most highschool psychologists are raging tools whose
words are inaudible because their heads are up their asses. 
I just recently visited a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with (surprise)
OCD+anxiety disorder+depresion and decided to put me on Zoloft. I also
got back in contact with my therapist (I like her, but for some reason
stopped going) and will be seeing her regularly again. I should hook
myself up with a neurologist though, and get a zany concoction of tests
conducted to get better insight into how (at least by the test results)
my wheels are spinning.
And congrats on the GPA man! If I would have gotten a 2.00 during highschool I'd be drinking a case to celebrate!  |

When I was throwing up and shitting blood when I had IBS it seemed
a little more than "nervous cramps". And there was nothing the doctor
could prescribe me to cure it. As far as I'm aware there isn't a drug
that can actually help it directly. What I was prescribed was something
to make me feel less nauseous, nothing that directly fixes the problem.
I don't know about all this stuff anyway. I just know the best way
you can try and stay healthy is to try and have a more positive and
less stressful outlook.

I
am currently taking one tiny pill a day to stabilise my mind, because I
have the tendency to lapse into unwanted moods at the drop of a hat
(not bipolar though). I also show minor symptoms of OCD.
Regarding the intelligence division topic here, I've recently come
to an odd conclusion. I've always known (and all tests show this) that
my verbal intelligence and creative skills rank much higher than the
rest (which is only average), but the weird thing is that several other
tests have shown that my left brain half (prominently associated with
maths) is by far the most dominant one (and added to that, I nearly
always have pain or cramps in my left body half, which is controlled by
the right brain hemisphere).
Anyhow, I feel for you guys. It must be tough to lead your lives.

Ah
the perils of living in the West... you have lost your way, the West!
Meanwhile we in the East will be eternally happy as we flunk our way
through college.
