I'm sure this sort of topic gets posted here a lot, but I'll go for it anyway...

I'm having an *absurd* time getting things done. This goes from homework to studying to cleaning my apartment, to changing my cats' litter, to doing dishes, to calling for a replacement shelf for my refrigerator... ANYTHING. It just comes time to getting something done... and I don't do it. I know I need to. I just can't make myself. I feel lifeless, exhausted, and just have no energy. It's always been a problem, but now that I'm living with someone, it's HER problem too. She's fed up with it, thus I am fed up with it. It probably shouldn't have taken that much to get me to post here/seek help for it, but it did. So here I am

I also find I can't focus in class. I will start off a schoolyear all gung-ho and take notes with full attention and everything. Unfortunately, I need my computer to keep up with the notes in some classes, which of course will get me distracted. Even without the computer though, I will notice sometimes that periods of time go by where I am just not around. I will blink, and realize 10 minutes have passed, and noise came into my ears, but I did not pick up a single word of what the teacher was saying. Looking back, I realize that this took place as early as elementary school.

So the point and the bottom line would be... does this sound like ADD? I've had psychological tests before, and any questions that related to attention deficit I cleverly gave false answers for, because I had heard about adderall and have heard very bad things about it. Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
