Heaps glad to hear of your accomplishments yeah.
I am starting to respect the whole 'changing of diet solution'.
I am more than sure it does help with the N,as i have done it over the years cause these kind of things are all we have in order to improve our N.
And i hear ya when u say fully apply yourself!
I used to be like try a very strict diet for a couple of days n see if i notice a change,and then usually give up.
But u need to go at it for at least over a month.no exceptions.
And it is very hard as most of us have a huge sugar craving!
Problem with me is i feel although as if my current state is as good as it gets!
Thats on the best of diets, on provigil-200mg a day.
Yet i almost hate livn cause i dont want to face the world,dont want to converse usually, have mild C attacks at the worst of times, cant look people in the eyes,group conversations are a nightmare,being in a classroom trying to study brings out the worst in us,doing overly physical work hits me hard when i stop, scared to drive for more than 20 odd minutes,feel like i need a quick nap b4 i do or go anywhere, cant fully express myself(since very young), in a bad case where this disorder is almost invisible and theres no point giving peole a quick explanation as then it leads to many misunderstandings,eg just lazy.....
no girlfriend(crazy but i dont want to share this life-too proud mabye) no job, bad health day in day out.
Yet i know i have mad potential.BUT it's all broken up into these awkward things above, never consistent!
Can i ask what job or jobs u hav?
Iv'e tried carpentry-liked it but didn't suite cause of the travel,and that it became dangerous!
Tried retail-dealing with the public way too much.hours didn't suit as a stock reciever as well!
Had knee operations over the last few years, whic hasn't helped my cpabilities at all!
So now im at full time Study,cuase i just dont know what to do!
Studying Graphic Design, as i have always liked drawing.
Like it alot, i wouldn't study anything i dont like cause i was smack out on the keyboard all day.embarassing but i just dont care a bout being judged by the people in that class!
I's like my backup career that im starting now and will benefit some day!
OOps, typed up a bit too much, it's all over the place and probably not spelt right but thats what u get at 4 in the afternoon innit.
I aint been on here in ages so just kinda threw it all out there!!!
