Whoa... self-medication through stuff other than drugs? That's actually a new one to me... but it fits with my behavioral patters. My "drug" of choice would have to be the internet. XD

But Dragon, I know exactly how you feel!! I will do exactly the same things, though it's only recently gotten this bad. Do you ever feel as though you have "fuzz" around your brain that's blocking out the "guilt guilt anxiety I should be WORKING!" feeling? I dunno, that's the best way I can put things...

I find it kind of funny that the things your parents are telling you are exactly the sorts of things I tried and tried and TRIED to tell myself. I would much rather be "lazy" than have a "condition". Though I know there's nothing wrong with having ADD or anything else, I've had some very bad experiences with people who have more severe disorders... kind of gave me a negative bias, if you will.

Either way, HUUUUUGE good luck being sent your way, Dragon and Jess! I hope everything works out for you guys. And thanks for all the support, Bloo.
