Wow, just sort of breezing through your post you sound like me! I am ADD, I can manage without medicates but it's from years of working on it. I was medicated as a kid/teenager and it didn't really help. A lot of it was due to me not really caring about school, which I do now but still fight all these things. I'm not going to say much more as I haven't really read through all of this thread.

I just wanted to tell you I think I know where you are. I want to help if I can. Keep you head up.
