I'll be honest discussing this whole area makes me very upset, because of what I lost through putting drugs into my body. Being lied to by professionals, and fighting it all my own. If drugs didn't exist I'd be very happy right now, and wouldn't have went through any mental torture. There is only so much of it I can explain over the Internet, because it's very very long story stretching back to my childhood. But I blame it all on drugs. I don't want to keep disagreeing with Caryl, Dave, or Lucy because they are right, and I'm wrong. I just get angry about it is all.

Both you and I Steve have admitted in this thread that we have been diagnosed with ADHD (which you stated was a made up disease and I admit I took offense to). The symptoms I have had to deal with all my life certainly weren't made up but I can see that you have thought again about this and realised that some of the things you said were an assumption.
I've not found diet to be the sole factor in controlling my symptoms as even when I was on a strict diet set by medical professionals I still had issues with concentration and hyperactivity. Yes, cutting down on caffeine helped with anxiety but other than that I've not noticed much of a change in the way I am.
I'm glad that a change in diet helped you but how people react to anything varies from person to person.
