(yes I analyze things way too much,everyday, thank god you guys understand)

So I thought I always had just the inattentive type of a.d.d, but now I'm thinking I have the hyperactivity. Back at home, I was down a lot because I didn't have many friends at all, my family was crazy, so I just kind of entertained myself with movies and stupid **** all the time. My family never really thought I had a.d.d...I thought they just didn't pay enough attention to me.

When I got here at school, there were so many more stimulating things to do. It was a lot easier to make friends with people because they were all just so interesting to me at first (bieng art people). I was FILLED with stimulation, it was awesome. ofcourse I got bored again and had no one to entertain me after awhile, so I got anxiety going on in my heaad. my friend finally told me that I always need to be doing something and that I'm hyper, it never really clicked in my head before that I was like that. I'm CONSTANTLY seeking something to do with someone(usually involving activity) and If I'm not I'm just... bleh or finding myself depressive. Funny thing is... I might be always seeking stimulation, but I'm not constantly talking like a lot of the a.d.h.d. kids do. I've always been told I'm quiet, but when you have me stimulated I'm so normal.Or when I need to get out my anger or stress I'm talking a mile a minute.

I DONT GET IT........... which one am i?

From what I've read on this site, it seems like it is more common to have a "combined" type of ADD; that is, having symptoms all across the board. You may want to talk to your psychiatrist about how you've been feeling regarding your diagnosis of inattentive ADD and point out these other factors...it's frustrating, I think all of us just want to figure out what's going on with us and figure out how to manage our lives accordingly...:)

You sound perfectly ADHD to me!

Quite like me...

I'm a waitress, and look like a fish in water with a crowded house.
..when all the people leave, I look crazy because i am still runnning the same pace awhile......from the stimulation.

of corse you change with your setting, at least a little.

holy **** its all so explainable...gotta just give into the beautiful brain... its ****ing beautiful GIVE INTO IT

EDIT I AM GETTING SO CLOSE TO THE SECRET OF ADHD

When you're floundering, it's best to swim out of a seafood joint! :cool:

haha I probably am still running the same pace too at the end of work. I'm always walking really fast lol.

I used to give into my brain, but I feel I have to be so controlled at school. GRGRGRGRGR.
