I will begin studying more if I do have ADD, because I founf out its symptoms fit me, and by doing this I'll discover once and for all possible scientific analysis and reasons for these shorcomings that deprived me from seeming normalcy, and which rendered the simplest of things to be challenging. I will try to find out if really my forgetfulness, irritability, impulses, word spasms are not mere humor of my individuality, but more of a real scientific diagnosis of ADD.
It feels so new to nurture the thought of possibility of me having a chronic illness. Definitely new grounds.

I've checked out the symptoms before for ADD and I must have had all except one, and I don't remember which one it was. Lately I've been forgetting more often than usual...Or maybe I'm just noticing my forgetfulness more because someone is bringing it to my attention. Then again I also have symptoms of depression. Nothing intense, it's just the things I used to like or do I don't really do anymore. And I'm still trying to get over issues from the previous few months. Hmm...People like to tell me I have obsessive compulsive disorder, but I don't think I have it. I just think I like to stay clean.
@Kivaunbon -
well im not really cleared up yet with this symptom, since I have yet to study it (which when i think about it is another symptom: procrastination of things requiring much thought--- uh oh). So anyway, I too get depressed sometimes, also of things gone or this foreboding emptiness ahead of me.
Maybe you really are OC? I dont think theres nothing wrong with it though, since I too am a fan of hygiene haha. it only becomes weird for me when people with OC count evrything like footsteps or brush strokes (or is that a diff disorder) :)
Word spasms? I don't see word spasms. I see eloquence, really. You have to have that diagnosed if your symptoms keep you from running the normal course of your life. Good luck. =)
@caffeinecups - haha its nothing bad really! I overly exaggerated my sometimes involuntary blurting out of words. :)
It's still OC when they count stuff compulsively. I'm not that far down the road, though. I'm just conscious of how clean I am as well as that of things around me. I hate touching doorknobs or opening doors to public places. And I'm no big fan of shaking hands, either, because some people actually skip washing their hands after going to the bathroom, or they run water over their hands for two seconds and call that handwashing. This is what is a bit odd to me, though: I don't mind drinking after someone or someone drinking after me. A girl I was in class with drank some of my Dr. Pepper even after I told her I was sick. I haven't been concerned with drinking after people ever since that day...
@Kivaunbon - Were opposites! I have trouble sharing drinks and eating utensils, even with my parents! the other bacteria issues does not bother me though, except for bathroom walls and floors and toilet seats.
Yeah, the stuff in public bathrooms doesn't really bother me unless immature kids have left toilet paper all over the place or haven't flushed the toilets. And for whatever reason I don't really like sharing stuff with my mom. LOL, I guess it depends on the impression I get of them when I meet them which determines if I mind sharing with them. My mom has proved herself a bit of an anti-clean person. She leaves stuff all over the house; I have to clean up after her!
@Kivaunbon - haha better not tell her that you have problems sharing stuuf with her. haha :)
