I just realised something about the taking breaks part. While still in school I had those brain dead periods around 2pm. I tried to fight it when I first began having late afternoon classes and it was awful. But at some point I realised that if I let myself relax for really 10 to 20 minutes, I'd be back with full energy for the rest of the school day. So I slept. Face down with my head on my arms, in the classroom. There were few teachers who complained but they were used to me being the odd one anyway so they accepted it xD

Forgive my ignorance. What kind of doctor diagnosed you? My regular doctor said I would have been diagnosed before turning 18 if I had ADD. But I am finding I have a whole lot in common with people who have been diagnosed with it. I am frustrated and want to know if there’s any help for me.

mayapple36 There is definitely help for you. I wasn't medically diagnosed until I was 29. All plumbers aren't created equal... nor are doctors... Just visit a different M.D. I don't know your situation, but it probably wouldn't hurt to research some doctors and their methods. So that you're not paying to be told "You're Fine"... Due to a lack of understanding, a personal biased, or whatever the case may be. Initial Dr. visits to be seen for Adhd, even with insurance can be from $150-$250, if I remember correctly. A good start for info may be some local support groups online or with an app like Meet Up, mental health organizations or clinics, or just figure out some way to locate and talk to people with Adhd or other mental health needs that can give you insight with their experience with Dr's around you.

Meditation helps me to feel more 'clear' and relaxed/grounded and then I can concentrate / focus better (again)

There are LOTS of jobs in Canada that don't allow for breaks. It's really harsh. Restaurants and convenience stores, for example. I had an office job where I could take breaks pretty freely. I often had days where I would have to go on really really long walks and even after that I couldn't concentrate. I do the same job from home now and it's a lot better, though I miss goofing around with the other people. I do better when I can control my hours somewhat.

Time of day? When the meds are effective, stuff gets done. Soo all ADDers who are taking Adderall/Methylphanitdate are more functional in the Morning/Early Afternoon

This is not gonna bring any productivity to anyone's life with ADHD, why would I have to compromise with this,,, from moment to moment. I want to make my emotion the way I want to be....all those medical doctors want the patient to cope with the disease.

ADHD is a genetic-neurologic disorder and NOT a lack of time management skills (see lectures by Dr. Russel on Executives Skills)

17:40 that's me

ADD people are either highly productive or not. They are able to work at high speed with great intensity and accuracy but then we need to rest and relax or goof off and play a game, sports or just do facebook stuff. Try to discover if you work better under pressure or when there is no deadline.
