I had a session with my counselor today and they seem to think I have ADHD. I will be having some tests to see if I do have it or not but I really am not convinced I do have ADHD...
  I am just very confused about who I am right now. My counselor thinks I have it most probably for the following reasons: 1) I am impulsive 2) I fidget a lot 3) Get bored easily 4) Put myself into dangerous situations 5) Being unable to sit still 6) Impatience 7) Restlessness I don't think this is enough to diagnose me with ADHD... At school I fit under all the things above but when I am at home I can often sit for a long period of time and focus on a task... so this does not mean I have ADHD. My parents would say I am lazy... but at school I am highly energetic. I am two COMPLETELY different people when at school and when at home. I feel like someone else when I am around my family. So now I am thinking that I have a split personality. Someone please help me out.

Unfortunately, people are "anxious" to diagnose somebody.....put you in a category, etc...I think it takes extensive testing to make any diagnosis. Those things you mentioned are things a lot of people feel/have, it doesnt' mean you have ADHD.

I took an extensive exam to get my diagnosis. Maybe you can contact a psychologist to perform testing for you?
