So apparently I had ADHD. I was tested for it at 17, and at the time the person said that I may have it, and I did it would be mild. The testing was done through a psychological evaluation. Later I was told by someone else (a counselor who read the psych eval) that I did have ADHD. Oddly though, nothing was done about it. Anyways, I'm ashamed to have ADHD. I think of it as something bad and just a label for hyperactive kids. I just feel dirty having that label. Odd thing is that I didn't start having problems with inattention until I found my mom dead (at 6) and later on, was abused (at 11).
