I´ve never been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD but I think I have little bit unusual mind. I´m over 30 now and I see that I have some troubles to keep long-term attention, long-term interest in anything. I have always a lot of enthusiasm for many things but usually it´s temporary and after some time my enthusiasm disappears and my attention shifts to something new/else.. E.g. languages - I already started to learn 8 languages in my life every time I lost my interest after several lessons/months.. with musical instruments I had the same (I already tried to learn playing drums, guitar, trumpet.. ).. but the worst issue is my work.. I´m still not able to decide what I´d love to do in my life! I studied some social science, but it was too theoretical for me, than worked in an office.. I just still cannot find anything which would be a passion for me and keep my attention for longer period (at best lifetime). And I started to suspect my mind to not being able to focus on one thing only and keep this attention for many years. I´d maybe get bored... I always need something new, something fresh.. (that´s why like travelling).. but on the other hand, I NEED to create some kind of consistency in my life..
I found some information about how to deal with ADD at work and all those things seem to be really useful pieces of advice in my case as I have problems with procrastination, deadlines, misplacing things etc...
Can I have ADD? What do you think?
Thanks for any feedback!

That definately sounds POSSIBLY like ADHD.

But it could be something else.

The symptoms must have been present since childhood AND only a qualified professional can diagnose you. Sorry.
