"Once again a long time has gone by in which I have not been able to concentrate on the slightest thing -- I will now try to get started again"

It strikes me that Kierkegaard had ADD as discussed here goo.gl/otcRc6

A little tongue-in cheek, but could Existentialism ≈ ADD

Existential angst may not entirely derive from "a negative feeling arising from the experience of human freedom and responsibility" but could be the call of the real world to a distracted soul.

Can explain a few other things:

Camus' car crash

Sartre sending his Nobel rejection letter too late for the decision

Litres of coffee consumed and cartons of Gauloise smoked




Except Camus wasn't driving the car when it crashed. His friend Michel Gallimard was.
