ADHD-like symptoms

[MissAlice]

I have trouble concentrating on my work and many other things for that matter such as reading. I was wondering if there were other methods that would help lessen this condition without the use of drugs.

It wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't get in the way of everything. I've been trying not to eat anything "bad for me" but I'm not sure if there's recommendations on what to avoid and what to indulge as far as ADHD is concerned. The racing thoughts are really what's driving me crazy.

Any help, suggestions, or advice would be of great help.

Thanks.

Have you tried any of the natural herbal supplements that are supposed to work for focus and stuff?

Like what?

I've tried D-3, Ginko Biloba, St John's Wort. I really don't believe in many of the herbs that're encapsulated in pills. I could be wrong or maybe it depends on the brand?

I have recently been taking mulitvitamins and been incorporating omega 3 in my diet which is suppose to help with concentration...or so I've been told.

This may likely be caused by a lack of mental discipline and thus results in poor conditioning of which affects focus. Try counting mentally, and if stray thoughts enter and interfere, stop your count and start over again. Start by counting 1-10, 1-20, 1-30 respectively as you improve, and discipline yourself to do this daily. If you stick to this, there should be a noticeable improvement in focus and concentration over time, but like anything, it takes discipline and will power.

Physically, this helps the brain to form more neural connections thus making the exercise itself and its application in real life much easier with less interference and distraction.

Thank you Nowhere Man, I will try that.

Sounds like counting sheep when trying to sleep lol.

Practice being focused.
You control your mind and body.

I was curious if you had actually been diagnosed by a doctor with ADHD or if you diagnosis is your own thought about what you have? Several things can mimick ADHD such as head injuries and symptoms from concussions and things like that.
