I think I may have ADHD

[amalthia]

I was reading yahoo news or maybe it was the New York Times and I ran across a ADHD checklist located: Here and scarily enough on many of the items I scored an often. :(

Not sure what to do with the information or if I should rely on a self diagnosis.

"Otherwise, you've lived this long."

yeah that's kind of what I was thinking too. :) It's just interesting to find out that I may be a touch ADHD. I do okay when I read so I guess it can't be all that bad and I hear people who fidget burn more calories throughout the day...

lolll

I have ADHD symptoms too. They interfere sometimes but mostly I cope pretty well. And I couldn't afford the pills, so.

I've been like this my whole life and did well academically. But the part that worries me professionally is the being impatient for other people to finish speaking and sometimes I lose control and interrupt. :( It's something I'm really working on but if I get too comfortable with people I tend to do that often. With my friends we just keep going and it's no big deal but at work that can be problematic....

Coworkers: way too touchy most of the time
