Thanks for the info! But I can assure you it's not an IA (internet addiction). That is just my go to thing when I can't focus. It could be anything. In fact I caught myself today building a stupid cell phone holder for no reason out of paperclips... Why? I have no idea... I literally stopped and told myself "WORK!"

It goes back to childhood - like most - and I should have been tested then. But it was the 80's and it was still a new field. Many people told my parents to have me tested but no insurance covered that kind of thing back then and there was no way they could afford it.

I do all kinds of things to reward myself but geeze it's hard to make it happen. I have known for years that this was an issue but never did anything (serious) to correct it. In college I taught myself to study in ways that worked for me. A lot of typing hand written notes, and flash cards. Groups helped to they kept me on track most of the time.

Here is the tough part though. I live in FL but I am on a job in NC right now so I am away from primary and hormone dr's right now and anyone they could/would recommend would be there... I have had a hormone work up and I have really low testosterone which can make the ADD symtoms worse but hormone therapy isn't fixing it...

I found some psychatrists that are therapy driven here in the area and I may just give them a call and see what I think of them. Who knows one may be perfect for me.

Here is something that I have always wondered if it was the ADD or just me. I am a hobby hopper. I will get on these kicks like a cell phone and learn to hack it and what not, follow the forums for about six months, then on to the next one. Which could be traditional shaving with old fashioned razors (bought one...), old trucks (bought one...), jeeps (bought one...), computers (bought more than one...), you get it. Sometimes they cycle back sometimes not. Does anyone else do this?
