Since I'm such a smart guy, I've self diagnosed myself with ADD.

It really does all make sense though.

It kind of fits in all those irritating nooks and crannies that my diagnosed anxiety/panic disorders, depression just missed. Reading through pretty much every bit of information I can get my hands on, anything I can read online, self test on the internet, & a ton of forum threads made me realize how certain aspects fit just right.

Things like never being able to stay on topic, starting out on the internet looking for a movie showtime ends up with me buying $400 in motorcycle parts after an hour of obsessive research. Anything mundane or boring just gets dropped. I have to be doing multiple things at the same time. Right now, I've got exactly 10 browser windows open, responding to 4 emails, downloading an episode of Top Gear, writing a memo to employees (thankfully no, not about productivity).

So anyway, i've got a gut feeling it's ADD, but the problem is I don't have any of the really hyperactive symptoms, don't lose keys, groceries, etc. My mind is always racing, but I have zero (can I have less than zero) energy. Nothing ever gets finished, and it's going to really bum me out if the doc says no to add.

I don't see that happening though...

Yah, okay, guess I'm just venting, I'm not really sure where I was going with this, other than to say I'm pretty sure I have it, my regular appt with my doc is on the 17th, and we'll see what she says!
