Any advice for a someone who aspires to be a philosopher?

It is the one thing I always loved. It is called philosophy. And for the first time in my life ( 17 years old ) I have started reading it and watching lectures about it. Yet I feel like I am missing something or doing something wrong, perhaps I am missing intelligence ( Average educated right now - Now doing above average education ) or perhaps it is due to my ADD ( Which prevents me from fully concentrating on the text which I'm reading ). Anyway, I love it, just as much I love science and just as much I love music. But I still feel like I'm not making any real progress, meaning that I am not really developing the philosophical mindset or skill. I still have sometimes a lot of trouble mainly with logic and things like philosophy of mind. For example: I read something and they use arguments which literally kill my brain ( metaphorically ). I am always open-minded, I always use a dictionairy, I always try my best. I assume you know where I am going. It is a lot of trouble I know that. Most philosopher in history had different views, different backgrounds, different arguments. So any advice about how one can get a more philosophical mindset? How one can become a better philosopher? How can one develop himself correctly as a philosopher? How one can improve this great skill? How one can read philosophy ( Works like: Beyond good and evil or the gay science, Being and time, Aristotle's metaphysics, Major works of Ludwig Wittgenstein ( I am planning to read all those ), philosophy of mind and logic ( Those two in particulair hurt my brain )) and making sure his brain survives?!

I here apoligize If I have been wasting to much of your time for such a simple question and I ofcourse I apoligize for If I have been obscure or unclear. Anyway for those who did understood and answered, thank you for answering! I will try my best to take the advice to my own heart!

Reading. A lot. There are reading lists out there, but the important thing is to just *do* it. 

Writing too. Loads of it. 

On a more personal level, get your condition under control. Meds, therapy, daily rituals/procedures, meditation, whatever works. That'll help you with *life*, not just philosophy.
