thanks for the replies, everybody!
okay… here’s a little bit more of the story…
I have dealt with ADD for all my life. I have the inattentive kind. I don’t have get the hyperactive symptoms, but I have trouble with focusing, remembering things and organizing my memories, and keeping track of tasks. I’m always getting sidetracked, and it takes me forever to do things. My room is a mess and my mind is a mess too… but… on the plus side, I think my disorganized mind is a factor in my having a strong imagination and creativity. I also think that not being neurotypical (fun word that I just learned on these forums) has given me a unique perspective and sensitivity to people who are different. (as an aside, I’m not sure how long I can type right now, because the discomfort in my wrists/forearms is coming back.)
So as of July 2012, I was working at a call center; a job I hated. I’m an introvert, and working somewhere that involves talking all day, working fast, constantly multitasking, and being micromanaged was hell. My hobby/avocation is art and design, and I spent all my July 4th holiday working on a drawing on my computer glued to the chair. I woke up with a kidney stone. To be continued…
as far as waiting, I have a few things I have to cooperate with, and I get to see the Psychiatrist in May.
