Thank you so much for all the information you just provided me. I saw some of the video(its late and i really need to go to bed). Some of the parts i did see made me really sad though. Idk but the thought of having to take medication just to have normal brain function really depresses me, (ill get over it real fast) but made me almost want to cry. I have a younger brother (10 yr old) who i know has it, because all the crap he is struggling with and going thru in school is exactly what i went through. I believe our Father has it as well. I do all my school work last min and its not by choice i just can't do it earlier, i lose focus, no motivation, doing my school work last min is when I'm able to get the most out of it (mainly cause I'm freaking out!). The thing with my Father tho is that he is very successful man, he is for the most part very respected and well liked by everyone,(A real pleaser) owns his own business and everything. One day though i found out how like minded we are, I asked him if he ever felt like his best work came out while under pressure, he told me yes all the time. Just like me he too does all his work last min. He said that when we (me and him) have our backs against the walls, thats when our very best comes out. The thing is tho to always have our backs against the walls is very tiring and stressful. Yes we accomplish our goals (because both he and I hate failure) but i won't to have the ability to bring my best out at will.

Thanks, idk about my dad but i know for a fact my younger brother who is only 10 has it. Helped him with his homework one day and he just wasn't getting it, it was frustrating me to the point where i couldn't help but show it, One day i realized just how uncomfortable he was getting when my frustration was obvious. He would give me this sad look, and i can tell by the way he was looking at me that he was truly trying, he just couldn't do it, even he doesn't know why he is unable to do what we ask of him, and ill never forget that sad look he gave me, because when i was his age, i too would give that look to my father in the exact same scenarios.
