I completed half the test, saw that it wanted me to add up the results myself, and then closed the window.

I first scrolled to the bottom, noticed that, and closed the window. :)

i often cannot read posts fully because of my distractedness. in a social group i tend to tune out, also in classes. when i have assignments i'm generally lazy and leave it for later, and i can't concentrate on the thing i'm not supposed to be doing so i just end up wasting more time. ugh -_- and now i'm all paranoid...

I'm a depressed whore, and mostly because of people's reaction towards me. Fags.
 
Didn't bother tallying.

But I am taking ritalin for it, so I guess that qualifies me ... as ... um, stuff.

Most of the 'problems,' I guess you could say, are personal choises. Like procrastination, ect.
A lot of the time I just don't care. It's not ADD, it's Apathy. :|

That 'Item' business confused me...
Were we supposed to put the score for question 1, 6, and 7?
Or the 1st, 6th and 7th groups of questions under the headings...

I'm assuming the former...
 
I couldnt be bothered adding them up but I could see that I incredibly high. Eh, its not really a big suprise for me though.

I assumed the former as well.
 
Like i said i have Bi-Polar2 and ADD, and probably OCDobsessive compulsive disorder (for me this is primarily being intensely paranoid about germs, like if someone i live with is sick i end up wearing breathing masks, gloves and washing my hands 15 times a day, things like that. But i don't know if this is so much a problem as it is an awareness. its why i don't get sick and everyone else does)

Dr. Amen suggests: "More than 20 items with a score of three or more indicates a strong tendency toward ADD. Items 1, 6, and 7 are essential to make the diagnosis."


My life sucks. I have no friends, and have been fired or quit nearly 30 jobs.

-Hyperfocusing rocks, I come up with the most incredible schemes and inventions (like omfg im a genius) and can experience up to 15 intense orgasms per day before collapsing. including 6 hour erections. Awesome. on the other hand, everything else about me sucks.

I just found out that i have Bi-polar less than a year ago, and recently i found out that i am elegible for money from the government, since i am unable to work. I am awaiting aproval for social security disabililty, for the Bi-Polar2 disorder.

Heres some things on Bi-Polar: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/bipolar.cfm

im always very annoyed with everything. im up and down, i love everyone and can't stand everyone at the same time. including myself, which i find is interesting.
=/
these are some of the symptoms of Bi-Polar disorder.
Increased energy, activity, and restlessness
Excessively "high," overly good, euphoric mood
Extreme irritability
Racing thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another
Distractibility, can't concentrate well
Little sleep needed
Unrealistic beliefs in one's abilities and powers
Poor judgment
Spending sprees
A lasting period of behavior that is different from usual
Increased sexual drive
Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol, and sleeping medications
Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior
Denial that anything is wrong
