    At work it starts with a need and then I want to know as much as possible about it. Need is the beginning of the process. Want is just the natural progression.

    I guess all I can say is give it time and drugs. I'm taking Qelbree right now and it works for me.

    Oh yeah if somebody else has a need then the want comes naturally. But surely there's days where the need is pressing and the want is out for a stroll on the town?

    Less and less as I get older. I got medicated for it and I'm really better at handling, even using ADHD to work for me. I spent a day last weekend redoing a keychain stl for my daughter. Its a show she likes and I spent a good six hours hyperfocused on it and today I'm doing the finishing touches. I would not have been able to do that as quickly ten years ago.
