I have a diagnosis of ADD (now inattentive ADHD) along with BP2. I was told that ADD goes hand in hand with Bipolar. Does anyone else have this as a diagnosis or symptoms? I wonder if bipolar just in and of itself leads to being easily distracted. I'm like the dog from up most the time...squirrel! I was told I would need to go on ADD meds too and that I need a physical or doctor approval prior due to the effect the meds could have on me. I'm not in any shape at all, except round which is technically a shape, so they are worried about me for some reason. I really do not want to go to a primary doctor so I never get the physical.

So what say you other Bipolar champions, do you have ADD too? Are you just easily distracted? Are you on meds for it? Can you too prevent forest fires...wait, skip that last one.
