[QUOTE=outlawpickle;44810337]I kept a 4.0 because I took AP classes which skyrocketed my GPA and I took programming classes like you that I aced.[/QUOTE]
Only taking 1 AP class next year and that AP computer science (java), that should help. i might consider retaking algebra 2 next year or taking a different class for the credit. good thing about our programming teacher here is he makes us write games for our final :). im writing a game in VB6 using DirectX8.
One thing they need to change about the education system is how they teach us how to do a certain type of problem for only 30 minutes, and then give us homework with 25 problems on it. i dont understand how a lot of students are able to master solving a problem in only 30 minutes..
One thing they need to change about the education system is the entire education system because Jayzus have the States got a shitty education system
Daydreaming is better than hearing "bla bla vertex bla bla perpendicular bla bla bla subtract by tx divided by this fraction bla bla bla" all day.

Scandanavia in general has some nice ideas, from what I've seen
I am 99% I have a severe case of this
It's sooo easy to be diagnosed with ADD now, I could've gotten pills and been diagnosed with ADD pretty much the first day I walked into counseling session with very little concern for what else could be going on. (paraphrasing) 'This sounds like it could be ADD, do you want to talk with a nurse about this? (so she can make a prescription).
[QUOTE=bravehat;44805762]Seriously can we just stop throwing fistfuls of pills at everything with a name please?[/QUOTE]
No because it's much more profitable this way.

I'll tell you though, taking supplements and changing your diet isn't much cheaper.

Hum, wouldnt Sluggish cognitive tempo be more related to brain fog and depersonalization?
I'd believe this is a real disorder. I have extreme ADHD or potentially this disorder, and that combined with depression caused me to daydream/space out so often that eventually I completely lost all sense of reality and started hallucinating. I was completely sober at the time, and I don't remember it happening. But I am told that I was standing at the meat slicer at my job talking to myself and laughing my ass off. I was taken to a hospital and my sense of reality was completely gone while there to the point that they had to send me to a mental hospital and prescribe anti-psychotics to return me to normal. It took a full two weeks before I was back to being functional.
I still have depersonalization issues and a constant brain fog because of it though.
TL;DR I am ADHD/SCT and daydreamed/spaced out so often I completely lost my sanity.

That sounds beyond the realm of ADHD, to space out on a meat slicer and start talking to yourself. Hopefully you're doing okay, man, my worst fear is losing a finger/hand to a meat slicer and fortunately my days with working with them have come to a close.

Well, my depression started when a long term relationship ended, it caused me to start spacing out every time I was stressed. As time went on and the depression got worse and worse, I spaced out more often until one day that happened. I'm doing really well now, I got the help and treatment I needed. I appreciate the concern <3
Until you see it in a DSMV manual, it doesn't mean anything.
