From the descriptions I read it sounds like I have it too. Is there a free way to check?

[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;39629695]guess you are right[/QUOTE] anything less is simply a stressful assumption you can really do nothing about to treat or understand. Get checked, you won't regret the diagnosis either way.

ADD thread, huh? I was diagnosed with ADD around four years ago. I started getting medicated three years ago. The year in between that time was my mother insisting that I was diagnosed as such so that they could make money off of us with the sale of medication. For a while I agreed, and then in the year between getting diagnosed and being medicated I failed several courses and generally fucked up everything, school-wise. I've been going through counseling in an attempt to get me into good work habits and generally get back on track, but overall it's still not going well. It's likely I'm going to have to attend the local community college before going off to an actual college due to my poor grades. In essence, I'm every teacher's nightmare; I've been described as "intelligent" and "a great student" by instructors of classes I'm failing due to homework and projects. Despite all of the above, I'm finally repairing my intensely damaged self image and it's been a while since I've had a panic attack due to work related stresses. On top of that, I'm in a healthy relationship with someone who understands the problems I have and is more understanding than I could ever ask for. I'd be lying if I said my overall attitude in life was positive, and I've still got a long way to go; it hasn't been that long (relatively) since my last encounter with depression. But I'm not a total fuck up anymore, and at least I know that I'm not just lazy and non-committal, as many people, myself included, claimed I was. So that's some stuff.
