I am in the same boat as you clshappy. I realate to alot of the symptoms you haev mentioned. And i have gotten some good info from mswimmy. I remember in school always being fidgety. Not necessarily hyper but there were days where i was off the walls for no reason. Like almost manic hyper for lack of a better term. I do relate to the talking thing where i may say something that embarrasses me. Or I talk so fast as if i am gonna forget something. Because i will be mid sentence or even mid story and forget what i was talking about. Then i have to ask and they will have to tell me. But i have one friend who was treated as a child for add and he forgets like i do lol.....then we forget and move on. I do have trouble with the spending as well. Like recently i just started a seasonal job in a call center. I talk so fast sometimes it comes out jumbled and the person on the other end is like what. then i have to repeat myself. Also when i have to ask them there name they tell it to me and i don;t even remember it lol.....not to mention i am constantly moving around and fidgeting. I lose stuff constantly that i have had like a few minutes before. And for the life of me cannot find it. Usually my dad ends up finding what i am looking for. I will also be working on thing slike you and a dog outside will start barking or my dad will come in and start talking to me while i am on the internet or whatever the case may be and distracts me. I always have tons of pages going on my internet. I will go through 2 hours that seemed only like 5 minutes. I have been told by my dad that my mom tryed to put me on ritalin as child. Then my dad says she never tryed. Then my dad says i did. My mom says she never tried. I dunno what to believe. Then i was labeled lazy in high school when i started struggling.

I have been told i have anxiety and depression. But they came later on rather than being the forefront of my issues. I saw psychiatrist's and things for over a year but never found one i trusted. So i am afraid to go back or see if i can get tested. SO i am pretty much at the point of giving up. Because if you can't voice your concerns then where do you turn to or go to?
Sorry for being so long winded.
