Ask a person with ADHD and Bipolar.

[bushwhacker2k]

I suspect myself of having A.D.D., I haven't been officially diagnosed but I literally find myself drifting off from what I'm doing mid-sentence or if I'm in the middle of listening to someone, it could be a really crappy lecture but I can't really control myself. Do you think that might be A.D.D.?

Here's my question.

Are you me?

Jokes aside, I have the same issue. A.D.H.D, bipolar... and a partial split personality. Makes for a hell of a life, I'll tell you that.

great, 4chan style threads now in our Escapist. Why do you seek such attention? Ive seen high school cheerleaders less attention whorish then people like you who make these threads

Uh, yeah, GTFO please. I hate these kinds of threads as well, but I just made one for the hell of it, since I think the subject of ADHD and Bipolar hasn't been discussed much, and I've barely ever had a discussion about it before.

@Dastardly: I do tend to ignore and avoid some situations and activities, but I've never really used it as a crutch before.

@Adderseal: Well, ADHD typically affects your ability to pay attention, makes you hyper, more prone to forgetting things, etc.

@Boomshaka: Perhaps I should add that I was EXTREMELY hyper and everything, more than your average 7 year old.

Bushwhacker2k: I wouldn't be sure. ADD is different from ADHD and the only thing I really know about is ADHD.

@InnerRebellion: Well, yes, I am you, minus the split personality part. I can be either my "Hyper, Bounce off the walls, talktative" self when I'm off meds, and my normal self which is "Calm, Shy, Antisocial, Quiet", if that counts.
