I've been wondering for a while if I may have a problem or if I'm just trying to make something out of nothing. Numerous times I"ve come back to looking at ADD/ADHD, so I wonder what this all sounds to you all, please keep in mind that these are just some things that I think may relate to ADD/ADHD.

When I asked my mom how I was as a child one things stood out, she told me I tended to zone out and was pretty shy and reserved around people. (granted I don't remember that because I was pretty content being myself).

I never really had many friends, and I really didn't care too much about that.

I was highly imaginative (and still am) and love staying in my mind. This in particular got me into trouble in school, as I was tune out to whatever the teacher was talking about and just focus on whatever I wanted to think about.

I would get in trouble for things that didn't seem so bad to me, numerous times I've had to be taken out of the classroom and talked to about something behaviour related (don't really remember what they were anymore, I guess saying ot doing something they didn't like, who knows lol).

Numerous times I've caught myself completely zoning out (pretty much beginning to be more apparent from middle school and on)

I'm extremely easily distracted, sounds, movement, anything basically I can easily lose my focus on something (but I do usually go back to it afterwards).

I don't necessarily sit still, but I do stay in my sit. Usually I'll tap or shake my foot.

Most of the time I'm quiet and in my own mind, or doing something away from other people, and get frustrated if I want to leave or go somewhere when at another persons place and the person I'm with won't leave (I sort of get impatient).

Even though I'm like that most of the time, sometimes I can get very hyper (you can tell I'm extra hyper if I start laughing maniacally under my breath, it's creepy). If I'm hyper I'll just start randomly poking you, I might jump up and down, chase the cat or dog (for fun), make random noises (sometimes it's buzzing, or sqealing, or even bird noises, it varies).

I"ve discovered long long ago, when I was younger, that caffeine and sugar does nothing to me, I even used to drink soda in the middle of the night to put myself to sleep (it sort of makes me drowzy, but now it's gotten to the point that there really isn't much of an effect either way). I was told by someone or something that things like that can have an opposite effect on someone with ADD/ADHD, making them sleepier or something (I could be wrong).

What doesn't really fit with it, though, is I am a good student, I just zone out a lot, or don't feel like being in the classroom, but I'm stubborn and stay anyways.

I know i"m missing some things, and it would probably take others to jog my memory, so if you have questions, or something I could think about that may or may not be related to this I would greatly appreciate it.

I wonder what you all think, am I trying to make something out of nothing or is there possibly something there?
