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".

I had the opposite reaction *grins!* I've only been diagnosed since February of this year. It came about because of mild depression and working with the school and LCSW about my 7 yr-old son possibly being ADD (he is and we're working with his teacher, school counselor, and LCSW to get him the proper treatment and 504 plan). Gary said, "Oh, I knew you were ADD." WTH? Ack!!! So
that's why I'm such a space cadet!!!

Honestly, it's a relief to know why I am the way I am. But when I was your age (holy crap, did I just type that?) ADD wasn't diagnosed nearly as frequently as it is now. So I can see why you're hesitant to move forward with an official dx, Muse.

You guys are awesome, you know that? *Mwah!*
