Y - *Impulsive spending, When i have the money.
Y - *Racing thoughts constant and they bounce from topic to topic.
Y - *I feel mentally exhausted a lot, but can't stop. This is hard to explain, but if it's been a rough day then I feel super tired physical/mentally. Like at work i am fine in the morning then i am tired as i come to the end. I come home and its like someone stuck a new battery in me. especially when i try to sleep and i am dog *** tired.
Y - *Constant fidgeting, like I have to move my legs or hands, get itchy sometimes, bite my lip...
Y - *I forget what I want to say in conversation a lot... even in mid sentence or I answer my own question
Y - *I find myself impulsively talking, like interrupting (def when I'm excited) or
Y - getting embarrassed at what I said to someone after saying it
Y - *I try to get organized( I don't bother with this because i will leave things unfinished and move on before they are done.)
Y - *I lose stuff constantly(Keys, Wallet, Phone, Homework,paperwork) Usually my dad finds what i am missing.
Y - *I feel like I can't focus or it is so difficult to focus
Y - *I know I waste a ton of time. I'll be on the internet with maybe 10 different pages going
Y - *I really hate being interrupted. if i am finally settled on somethign then someone comes in and bugs me.
Y - *In certain circumstances I have to be in control, such as I have to drive. Do something engaging or else i will just wander even if your talking straight to me. I will miss what you say completely.
Y - * I will set my mind to something on and impulse and no matter what you say you will not sway me off my decision. I am gonna do it no matter the cost.

Everything you listed is classic ADD. I'm sure if we talked for an hour we would come up with another 20 items to add to the list.
Ask you GP for a reference to a Psychiatrist who specializes in ADD/ADHD.
I don't remember if I read how old you are, but don't procrastinate on this one, because if you have ADD the is a 90% chance that meds with help you a lot. Meds changed my life after my diagnosis. I'm hacked off that I did not find out about ADD earlier in life, but you just have to move forword.
I'm not a doctor, just a programmer, but I talk to a doctor about your symptoms. Feel free to pm me if you like...
