Thank you Sunrise and adder, for the encouragement and the info. The two links you provided sounded a lot like me.
What books have you been reading Sunrise? Have they helped?

I think I'll make an appointment with a psychologist soon. I'm frankly nervous about taking drugs like amphetamine. Are people usually on it for life?

Bleah, here's what my bf thinks about ADHD:

"It's not a disorder. It's just that certain people don't respond well to some environments, like school."

Oy. I love him to death, but he's very opinionated. If it turns out that I have it, I don't relish telling him. Are there a lot of people who feel ashamed of this diagnosis? (Or are made to feel ashamed?)
