Oops maybe I should have thought about that....

Being implosive can be frustrating at times. Take for instant what my undergraduate degree was in. That is not what I starting out majoring but I started hanging out with allot of guys in the DEA so with out thinking about it I went from early education to criminal justice. I do not regret my major but I should have but more thought and effort into it. May people with ADD suffer from being implosive. This causes them to make rash decisions while putting little to no thought into the decision. This can affect them at home, work, and even in their love lives. At home they will often think about doing something like starting a burn pile outside but then not consider the fact that the wind is blowing to hard. In the personal life it can affect many things such as relationships, finances, and other issue. Many people find it hard enough to be in a relationship but when your divisions in that relationship are not thought out clearly then it can have serious consequences. As far as finances the impulsivety affects your life greatly. You go shopping and finding something that is nice but that you do not need. I can not tell you how many times I have gone shopping for one thing but will come home with everything but what I went for. Over half the stuff I do not need or will use. It just sounded good while I was there. Yes while in school I learned coping techniques but they do not all ways work. Medication helps the brain slow down enough to begin thinking clearly but if the person does not like the side affects or in my case the doctor treating you does not believe in giving medication for ADD then you face the decisions of whether to go to a doctor who over prescribes medication or just try and cope with the affects of being unmediated.
