So I'm undiagnosed as having adhd, but feel its almost nailed on that this is the reason my head, and in turn life, is so scattered. I did the test on here, both full and short versions, and scored very highly on both.
For as long as I can remember, I've had problems socialising, preferring to work alone. When I was a kid, every school report was the same, very bright, but doesn't apply himself as much as he could. Very rarely did I manage to remember homework, coursework etc. I can't concentrate, I forget appointments (i had an appt for the docs to set the ball rolling on getting diagnosed, but forgot to go!). I have serious issues with timekeeping, with organising anything. I start things, but rarely finish, usually because I'm drawn to starting something else. I constantly say things without thinking, causing arguments which make me feel like crap having regretted what I said almost instantly afterwards. My mind is always on the go, thoughts get scrambled. I start speaking and before I finish the sentence, either get distracted or forget what I was saying!

All of this is leaving life between myself and my partner very strained. She's frustrated and angry that I keep forgetting to do things, I'm frustrated and angry that I forgot I can't blame her, I'm as fed up with myself as she is.
If there's anything serious I want to say to her, I've taken to writing/texting it and have her read it rather than try and say it and end up in a muddle. I get the feeling there's only so much more she's willing to put up with me before she leaves me.

I've read that unless you're a child climbing the walls, its very hard to get diagnosed with adhd, so I don't really know which way to turn.

After finding this site and reading through all the signs ans symptoms I felt like they discribed me to a TEE. Furstration, Absent minded and undiagnosed, but like you I completed the test and scored high as well on both. My parents were told as a child but shrinks and teacher that I had the signs of ADD. They didn't want to believe it so I hhave been undiagnosed and unmedicated.

You describe textbook ADD symptoms. I was not diagnosed until age 43. Go to your general doctor and tell him exactly what you just posted. He will probably have you fill out the quick screening questionnaire and ask him to recommend an psychiatrist with a specialty in ADD. I felt like a new person after my first Adderall.

Hang in there... ADD is very treatable
