I've always suspected that I might have undiagnosed ADD and it is really complicating my life. I'm 23 and graduated high school in 2000. I started college right out of high school, but flunked out my first semester. I couldn't keep up with the demands of college and soon became so overwhelmed that I totally shut down and quit going to class. I went to a junior college for a couple of years, and then tried the same school. This time I thought being a music major was the answer. But I fell apart two weeks into the semester and the same thing happened. Now I've been in school for four years and have nothing to show for it. I jump from majors on a daily basis. I'm looking at a private university in my home town that's small and has a very supportive staff. But the amount of hours I still need to complete a Bachelor of Music Ed. is massive and now I can't even be sure that's what I want to do. Things are getting worse. I find myself exploding in rages over things that aren't that bad. This morning I was trying to iron a shirt on one of those stupid table top ironing boards and when the shirt kept bunching up, I slammed the iron down several times. Well, that punched a hole in the shirt, which enraged me further. I rammed my finger in the hole and ripped the shirt apart. I don't know what's wrong. I'm so scared and very much alone right now. I wish I could make a decision and stick with it to make everyone happy. But I can't decide what's best for me. I can't narrow down the list. I just wish I could slow my brain down long enough to get things done.
