I've suspected for the last year that I've got ADD but I haven't done anything about it nor told anyone. I go to sites like this every now and again and am shaken by the similarities of what I read to my own circumstances. The problem with telling someone what I suspect is that it seems stupid and embarassing away from these sites and to say it out loud would make it real (even though that could be the best thing for me...? considering that I almost nurture 'it' (whatever 'it' is) and feel helpless to it). I do sometimes enjoy it though but the majority of the time I hate it passionately(on reflection) especially when things come back to overwhelm me after I should have dealt with them ages before. It's not even as if I say 'I'll do it tomorrow' I just put it on hold indefinitely(until it comes back to get me) and instead I'll do something much more important at that time like playing my guitar or listening to the radio or staring at the walls or SCRATCHING MY ****!!!
I'm just here typing my thoughts (or some of the ones that I managed to hold on to!) Type me some back if you want...

Hey Tim -- relate to this....WELCOME....and just to let you know...one thing I know is true of my ADD anyway, is that all priorties seem to have equal weight...studying for an exam seems just as important as um polishing my nails or watching "Friends"...see what I mean? so just doing what comes naturally instead of really getting in touch with what is the best thing to do next -- is TOUGH for us...right??? So you play your guitar, or listen to music or scratch your whatever, etc...:) instead of dealing with priority number 1....hey but awareness is everything....welcome....:)
