I am kind of confused by what you mean, especially the irish breakfast part, lol. If you're asking if I want to have a disorder, the answer is no. But... the thing is that the attention deficit disorder thing isn't just an archetypal thing, and from the research I did on it, there are many different types (If I had to put myself on there, I would say that I'm at 25% attention deficit and 75% hyperactive). I don't care if I have it or if I don't, though I probably do. My main concern was if medicine is doing me more good than harm. I know that my reaction to it isn't normal since I feel relaxed rather than hyper when taking it. My reaction to alcohol also isn't normal (reason that I stay away from it) because I gain tons of energy and get super hyperactive, so much that people comment on it (I was literally running up and down the stairs one time).
When I say weird, I mean that I do things that people give me weird looks about like constantly moving some part of my body and almost always needing to have a secondary activity to help me focus on anything I find boring. I even went to great lengths to be able to listen to music during classes that I wanted to be able to pay attention to in high school by sneaking a cd player in my bookbag, cutting holes in my jacket pocket to put the cord through, and keeping my hair long to hide the earbuds. I'm not sure if you are just venting or what, but I don't think I am trying to make something out of nothing here. I'm merely seeking support from people with similar circumstances. If you are just venting, I hope your day/week gets better soon! (I am being genuinely sincere)
